Small Earthquake Shakes Va, W.Va., Md. Border


USGS
M3.0 - 4km SSE of Bolivar, West Virginia

The United States Geological Survey earthquake hazards program reported a small temblor near the Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland border Sunday afternoon.

USGS indicated the temblor, measuring 3.0 magnitude, was centered in the Loudoun Valley area, just south of Harpers Ferry, West Virginia, shortly after 2 p.m. One NBC4 viewer in Jefferson County, West Virginia, said the tremors were "extremely quick."

There are no reports of damage. The center was situated about 45 miles to the northwest of Washington, D.C.

The USGS seismicity maps for the history of earthquakes in Virginia indicate no tremors in that area since 1973.
