4.8 magnitude earthquake hits NJ, shaking felt in Philadelphia areaGuertin teaches Earth sciences and was on a Zoom call when the earthquake hit. At first, she didn't think it was actually an earthquake.
She pulled up the seismograph image of the 4.8 earthquake that was recorded on the highly sensitive equipment buried deep in the ground on campus. As she looked at the data she also noticed that the same area of Whitehouse Station, NJ had a 2.2 earthquake preceding the recent one on March 14. "I don't think that this was on anyone's radar that we were getting set up for a main event," Guertin said.
