Minor Earthquake Rattles Dishes in South Jersey
by KYW's Al Novack
US geological officials have confirmed what many South Jersey residents felt on Wednesday morning -- a rare, minor earthquake in our area.
John Bellini, a geophysicist for the National Earthquake Center in Golden, Colo., says the temblor hit about 9:45am and measured about 2.7 on the Richter scale -- not a magnitude to cause injuries or more than incidental damage.
Bellini says the quake was centered near Wilmington, Del., and could be felt most strongly in Salem and Cumberland counties of New Jersey and New Castle County, Del. At least one person reported feeling it in Media, Pa.
Needless to say, no injuries or damage have been reported.
