welcome back, chief astronomer of the franklin institute is with is now, our good friend derek pits. thanks for talking about this. it happened an hour and a half ago. >> thanks for being here. >> we were talking about the scope of this because all along my facebook page i see

people all across area who felt something. it wasn't a substantial earthquake but large in scope. tell us why. >> well, it was felt across broad region because on the east coast we have bedrock that stretches up and down east coast and not over burden so that mass of bedrock is fairly close to the surface. if there is a chaka long east coast vibrations are transferred through this solid rock, this bedrock um and down coast so people can feel it widely. >> if there is a shock will there been after shocks. >> there could be but not likely, for this kind of earthquake, this earthquake, most likely, is a vertical displacement as opposed to a horizontal displacement as we might see in a west coast earthquake along plate lines or plate boundaries so in those kind you get a shift and then maybe more to compensate after it. there could be something but probably won't be anywhere near as intense as this one. this is a very low intensity

earthquake. >> people were very concerned, little scared, rattled. >> sure, of course. >> you say don't panic. >> in the scale of earthquakes this is very low intensity and while we have earthquakes like this every few years on average they tend to be about the same magnitude, so, don't expect to see widespread damage or very much damage at all. if you were lucky you may have felt something. you might have seen a sway in a chandelier maybe on the top floor of the building but not a whole lot more than that. no need to than make. >> we appreciate it. derek pits thanks. >> thanks for having me. thanks so much for watching "eyewitness news" at 6:00 we will return at 10 on our sister station cw philly an back here on cbs-3 at 11:00 up next, "cbs evening news" here from new york is anthony mason, take care family we will see you tonight
