3 Micro Earthquakes Hit Maryland

UPDATED: 2:20 pm EST February 23, 2005

GOLDEN, Colo. -- The U.S. Geological Survey in
Colorado has confirmed that the Baltimore area
experienced three "seismic events" Wednesday morning.

 The USGS said the events -- called micro earthquakes
-- were first detected around 9:22 a.m.

The agency said the first quake was centered between
Jacobsville and Pasadena in Anne Arundel County and
measured approximately magnitude 2 on the Richter
scale. A map on the USGS Web site had originally
pinpointed the epicenter of the micro earthquake in
the middle of Chesapeake Bay.

Later, experts confirmed a second small earthquake in
Maryland.

Geologist James Reger at the Maryland Geological
Survey said it was detected at 11:01 a.m. in eastern
Charles County. He said the quake did not appear to be
as big as the magnitude 2 quake that was detected 90
minutes earlier.

Seismic monitoring equipment at the Maryland
Geological Survey measured a third small quake moments
after noon.

I just heard on the noon news that there was a small
earthquake in Maryland at 9 something this morning.  I
stepped into the kitchen and missed the last of the
broadcast other than there was another  sm. one in
eastern Charles Co., Md. as well.  I didn't manage to
hear any more info on it but am trying.  I live about
25-30 miles south of the one in Charles Co.  Anyone
hear any more about it ?   ~Linda
