New Jersey Earthquakes History of Earthquakes in New Jersey
Earliest reported dates back to 1783.
I do not believe so.
There is no gas nor oil here.
A lot of oil is refined along the Delaware River, but that is all brought in up the river by ship.
That's right! They don't call it "MAGA" for nothing.
The whole area continued and continues to rock.

"You lose it, Buddy!"
Yeah, but who doesn't already know what Carl Spackler had warned decades ago?
"Fore!"
(Eucatastrophe.)
Was that the one that cracked the Washington Monument?................

Whose fault is it?
Everybody wants a 'Grant'............

😂
wonder if there are any nuclear power stations where these quakes might hit.
Landslide after shock!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😁
When FEMA comes to help the earthquake victims they need to skip the houses with Harris/Walz signs.
DFW, I think they frackup in NJ.
Thanks Red Badger.

Clearly human caused climate change is the cause of this.
I have traveled in many parts of NJ and have never seen signs of fracking or heard of oil pumping there. The igneous rock/basalt understructure of much of the state argues against that. I was surprised to see a climate group covering this quake. Then I remembered that area has had a record drought. Years ago Nicaragua had a severe quake after a 7 month drought. A lot of water weight removed from the ground. I called it the “bedspring effect”, like a spring mattress jumps if you stand up suddenly. I claim prior authorship if they prove drought as a cause and use my term. ;-)
The Mineral, VA quake in 2011 damaged the Washington Monument and the $millions in damage to the National Cathedral may still be in process. Friends told me of chiminey damage in DC. I was sitting on bed then. The whole room shuddered for 15 seconds and first I thought a very heavy truck had driven past. A few minutes later TV reported the earthquake as between 5 and 6. I kept a cup of water near me and over several days I would see little ripples on the water surface. Sure enough a few minutes later reports of another aftershock. With a quake construction requirement set at 6 the North Anna nuclear plant was lucky. I wonder at the guake rating of the Calvert Cliffs plant and 3 Mile Island.
The strongest NE US quake I have heard of was recorded in Boston in the 1700s, a month after the famous quake that hit the major port in Portugal killing tens of thousands. Perhaps someone would like to post a link. My aging eyes need a rest or I would search myself. As usual, thanks for your links SC.
I suppose that a new fault line could appear at any place on Earth at any time. Stress fractures....................
