Something very odd is happening around the Baltimore Metropolitan Area, where two earthquakes have been recorded in a matter of days. The occurrence of earthquakes in the metro area is rare.
When we think of earthquakes in the US, they're usually in California, the Coastal Pacific Northwest, Alaska, Hawaii, among other hotbed areas.
But Baltimore?
WBAL-TV reports that a 2.6 magnitude earthquake rattled the area on Friday, and another 1.7 magnitude hit on Sunday.
"These little ones like this are just a very quick jolt," Dan Blakeman, a geophysicist with the United States Geological Survey (USGS), told The Baltimore Sun newspaper.
