Most people think of California when they think of earthquakes. However, other parts of the U.S. have faults as well, including Delaware, which experienced an earthquake today.
It wasn't as though Delaware was rocked by a huge temblor; the earthquake was only 2.8 on the Richter scale. Big enough to feel, but not big enough to cause much damage, despite the fact that Delaware obvioously isn't as earthquake ready as California.
The epicenter of the Delaware earthquake was near Wilmington, specifically Mannington Township, near the Delaware River.
PSE&G Nuclear operates three nuclear power plants in Salem County. A spokesman said the Delaware earthquake was too minor to show up on the plant's monitoring devices. The plants are running at full power.
The Delaware earthquake occurred at about about 9:45 AM. It is still unclear if any damage occurred.
