New Jersey Earthquake Felt In New Hampshire

CONCORD, NH — A Friday morning earthquake in New Jersey was felt all over the Northeast, including New Hampshire.

Around 10:23 a.m., several Concord and Penacook residents reported feeling their homes shake but no sound. A check of the U.S. Geological Survey reported a 4.7 magnitude quake near Whitehouse Station, Redington Township, New Jersey, at the same time.

About an hour later, the site updated the location of the quake to about 6 kilometers east southeast of Califon, New Jersey, about 11 miles from the original reporting site. It also increased the magnitude from 4.7 to 4.8. The quake had a depth of 4.7 kilometers.

That area of New Jersey is around 330 miles from Concord.

A second quake, about 2 magnitude, was reported about 7 kilometers west of Bedminster, NJ, about 50 minutes after the Califon, NJ, quake. The depth of that quake was 8.1 kilometers.

Residents in Rhode Island felt the quake, as did those in Massachusetts.
