2011 Earthquake ‘100 Times Bigger’ Than Tuesday’s Earthquake Off OCMD Coast
The earthquake hit 136 miles off the coast of Ocean City and had a depth of 10 kilometers or 6.2 miles.
However, there is no chance of a tsunami, according to USGS, and more than 50 people reported feeling a slight tremor.
The USGS website shows dozens of people reported feeling a small rumble from Ocean Pines all the way down the coast of Virginia Beach and points south.
The town of Ocean City posted a statement on Facebook:
“The Town of Ocean City is aware of an earthquake that took place in the Atlantic, approximately 130 miles off shore and nearly 6 miles deep. Although we have seen no effects here, our Emergency Services Department has been in contact with our State partners and will be monitoring if needed.”

Trump’s Fault…
Monsanto’s fault.
Appears to me it occurred off the Virginia coast, not the Maryland coast, based on the latitude…
It always surprised me why the whole DelMarVa peninsula was not just Delaware LOL
In California, that’s barely a wake up call.
Heck here in CA we use 4.7 mag earthquakes to stir our coffee and cream in the morning.
It is Trump and the Russians.
MAYBE IT’LL BURY ALL THE LOONY LIBS IN THAT STUPID, LEFT-WING STATE.
The Russians!
Obviously due to global warming, eh? Just ask any Liberal.
