"Series of Earthquakes Rock Northeastern U.S. with 4.8 Magnitude Quake in Maryland and Aftershocks in New Jersey"

A 4.8 magnitude earthquake centered in New Jersey shook Maryland and other northeastern states, with residents feeling the impact across the region. The quake, the strongest in Maryland since 2011, was felt in cities like Baltimore, New York, Philadelphia, and Boston. While the east coast lacks fault lines, ancient faults beneath the surface cause these quakes, and the FAA reported potential impacts on air traffic. Despite no damage at BWI Marshall Airport, residents are urged to be prepared for future seismic events.
