46 (so far) aftershocks
New Jersey has been hit by more than 45 aftershocks following last week’s 4.8 magnitude earthquake — including one that rattled the Garden State on Wednesday morning.
The 2.6 magnitude Wednesday quake — the 46th aftershock — hit near Gladstone around 10:22 a.m., the US Geological Survey said. It was felt by just under 80 people, according to the USGS.
Three more tremors were reported Tuesday, with magnitudes of 1.3, 1.4 and 1.5, NJ Advance Media said.
There were also four aftershocks reported across Hunterdon County on Monday, including one that came just as the sun was reemerging from the moon’s shadow, according to The Philadelphia Inquirer.
