Thank you. Yes, this quake shows up my map also.
All: Be aware that the east coast earthquakes occur underneath (and in) larger and more stiff rock areas than those in the fault-strewn California and Pacific Coast areas. A small earthquake out west can shake only a small area before the faults interrupts the motion. Many more quakes obviously by many hundred times more often. But a Mag 4 or 5 quake out west will be felt over a much smaller region than this Mag 4.7 in a very highly populated area around New Jersey.
There have been 44 Magnitude 2.5+ Earthquakes in the past 24 hours.
That’s big for that area
