earlier i talked to susan hough, a seismologist at the us geological survey, and i began by asking her how rare a quake like this is. you realise what is rare to a geologist is not quite the same as what is rare to people. when you say earthquakes have happened in the area and there were magnitude five earthquakes in 1880s and 1700s, on human terms that's a long time ago. geological timescales, that is not that long ago. you have moderate earthquakes along the atlantic seaboard. not like california obviously but they really are not rare, per se, in geological terms. people i know as far away as baltimore felt this as quick. —— earthquake. why was it that even though the presenter centre was in newjersey, so many people far and wide along the east coast ended up feeling this morning? it's well—established that once earthquakes happen, the waves with the fall, they are much more efficient than the west. the crust in california is younger and hotter and more fractured. in th eeast you have these older terrains and the waves are able to propagate very efficiently. the earthquake happ

hough, seismologists and the us geological survey. >> steven, thanks for being with us. i love it that you didn't actually even feel it. you are driving down the road? >> i was driving up. >> you miss the giant events? i missed it. i live five years in california. didn't never experienced with drag out there too. so >> why explain why this happened today here in the coast. i mean, does it out? why would it happen? i think it was the yankees home opener >> now, it's it's it's a random event that can happen. i mean, we've there are faults out here and there are there's pressure that's built up and it and these are essentially tectonic plates shifting. >> yeah, they're, they're, they're moving against each other. they're slipping and their they're giving up some of the energy that they have stored in it. and there's not >> there's not really any way to predict, is there? i mean, i know some people's animals like seemed to free catalyst. >> yeah, the animals have seemed to know ahead of time, but there's there's no real way to object earthquakes. i don't think anybody would

i want to bring in susan hough right now. she's a seismologist with the us geological survey, susan. thank you very much for joining us. give us some context right now. first of all, what can you tell us about this, this 4.8 earthquake? >> well so the estimate now is 4.7. it might vary a little bit. it is obviously it not a usual event. it's not unheard of that >> and the >> west coast of north america, you have an active plate boundary, you have the san andreas fault and we know that's an active with quake zone on the east coast the continent and the ocean are glued together. you don't have an active plate boundary, but you do have stress and we have had moderately large earthquakes and damaging earthquakes up and down the atlantic seaboard in charleston, south carolina in 18, 86 in virginia in 2011, and quebec in 1989. so they do happen going back to the 1700s and 1800s, there were earthquakes close to magnitude five near new york city so we've just had one of these infrequent events. we don't 4.7, we don't expect to be lar
