The 2017 Delaware earthquake occurred on November 30, 2017 at 4:47:31 p.m. local time in the US state of Delaware. The epicenter, located in Kent County, was within the Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge, about 6 mi (9.7 km) east-northeast of the city of Dover. It had a magnitude of 4.1 and a maximum perceived intensity of VI (Strong) on the Mercalli intensity scale. The quake was felt across the coastal Mid-Atlantic, including Washington, D.C., Baltimore, Philadelphia, and New York City. No damage or injuries were reported.[1][2] It was the first significant earthquake felt in that region since the 2011 Virginia earthquake.[3]
The quake was initially recorded as having a magnitude of 5.1. However, it was soon after downgraded to 4.4, then once again to 4.1.[4]
