A minor earthquake, (though rare) shook the east coast today. A 4.8 earthquake struck in Lebanon New Jersey, being felt in New York, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, and other Northeast snob states. Those of us on the west coast who have lived through many earthquakes, much bigger than this are just laughing at the east coast snobs panicking over such a small quake.
The 4.8 magnitude earthquake felt by millions across the Northeast with an epicenter near Lebanon, New Jersey, is the strongest to strike the state in nearly 250 years.
