Current Event Blog- Earthquakes in NJ

Who: Won-Young Kim- seismologist
What: An earthquake
Where: Morris County, Dover and Morris Planes (NJ)
When: 10:34 PM Monday Feb 2nd
Why: Small earthquakes (ranging from magnitude of 2.5-3.0) are not uncommon in this area of NJ.

This article says earthquakes are not common in this area, but they also said it wasn't your typical earthquake. People who have been through many of them before didn't feel it was the same as others. If I were in this earthquake, I don't know what I would do. It's scary to think not too far from here there have been earthquakes recently.
