Minor Earthquake in Morris County

Scientists reported an earthquake in Morris County, NJ on Monday night. Fortunately it was minor; just a 3.0 magnitude one. Lauren Roman, a victim of the earthquake, said, "It just started like vibrating, the whole house was vibrating." Seismologists say that tremors like this one occur about once every five years. One seismologist, Leonardo Seeber, said that, "There might be aftershocks in the next several days." Thankfully, nobody was hurt.

I was kind of shocked to hear about this earthquake, especially since we don't get many around here. We were pretty lucky to not experience it. I was surprised to learn that the largest quake ever in our area was a 5.0 in 1884. I'm just glad that nobody got hurt. To learn more go to http://www.wpix.com/landing/?blockID=203648&feedID=1404
