Everybody is coming out of their offices and talking to each other just trying to figure out whats going on. Im kind of isolated on my side. So i ran out to see if anyone was coming out. There was a lot of other people inside the building as well. Im told there was a preschool downstairs. 25 kids were in the building. Were told everybody is safe and everything is okay. All the kids are safe. They are getting ready to go home now. No one is injured. I was definitely surprised. I thought maybe from the movies i watched that something was going to go down really intense. But were just thankful nothing big. Happened. Thanks for your time and thanks for sharing. No damage out here. And thankfully nobody was hurt. Especially the 25 or so Young Children that were basically downstairs at the church. Were going to be covering this throughout the night. Back to you in the studio. We want to go live to philadelphia international. A live look right now where some employees felt the earthquake too. Everything is operating normally at this time. Lets go to rosemary connors. You spoke with someone who felt the tremors there at the airport. Reporter i did just a short ago. I spoke to maria and paul. They are from immediate delaware county. In the last hour pfr youre heading out to catch a flight and making sure you have everything, all of a sudden they felt that shaking. Heres how maria describes it. It was about 4 45. I was in the kitchen washing dishes and i felt the house starting to shake. And i thought it was our washing machine, which is is u right above me. I thought do i have it on . And i couldnt remember whether i did or not. Its too late. The clothes were finished. And the house was shaking. I had no idea what it was. I thought maybe the house was shaking. She was on the phone with her parents who live around the corner from her. They did not feel anything. Her husband was stairs grap grabbing a quick shower. So certainly it depends on where you were if you felt that shudder, that shaking or rattling. Back here at everything is moving smoothly as we have been talking to officials here at the airport. Operations have not been affected by this earthquake. Were going to continue to follow this. Reporting live, rosemary connors, nbc 10 news. Take a a look at this video from the security call ra at our studios here. You can see the pictures shake ever so slightly. We were on the air at the time. This is an earthquake map that shows how wide the tremors were felt. As far north as connecticut and as far south as the d. C. Area. My sisterinlaw lives in the baltimore area. She reports she could feel this. I felt this plexiglass vibrating. Theres no subway running underneath here. A difference, your hands were on this desk so you felt this. It was very subtle. Lets go to chief meteorologist tammie souza. I was sitting in the Weather Office on the chair. So usually i would feel Something Like that, but i did p t hahp hc lets take a look at this map. I want to show you where this happened. This was just about ten miles northeast of dover. There are three dots on many of the maps because they are trying to discern where the center was. But it could have been over the water or just slightly on land. About four miles beneath the earthquakes surface. It was a shallow earthquake. When you have an earthquake like that and you have a lot of sediment, youre going to feel it travel an a extreme distance. Thats why it was able to go so far. Had this been 80 miles deep, maybe you would have felt a jolt in the adjacent area and thats about it. So it was a very shallow earthquake. Somewhere between 4. 1 and 4. 3. Thats the range they are placing it in now. Had it been truly a 5 like the one in 2011 that everybody in this region felt, that would have been a different situation. Every time you go up in magnitude, you end up about a thousand times more powerful. So this was definitely not as powerful as that one. It was the strongest earthquake in the United States today. There were earthquakes in hawaii, alaska, oklahoma, Southern California all hot beds for earthquakes. This was the strongest one so in the u. S. And there have been about 84 or so worldwide that were larger than a 1. 5 mag any nude earthquake. Lets go quickly to the shake map. What i want ed ed to show you w why you get so much distance. If we can put that up. Maybe well come back to that later on. The reason you could feel so much distance was because this was such a shallow earthquake. The higher up in a building you were, you could really feel the shaking. It goes up in intensity the higher you are. Guys, back over to you. A little history here. The area felt a similar earthquake in august of 2011. At that point, the epicenter was in virginia, but people could feel that quake from maine to georgia and as far west as illinois. That was a 5. 8 magnitude quake. There was some aftershocks that followed that one as well. Any video of shaking from your house or business.

Knows my way in and out of determining what a case is worth. Does it impact your relationship with those to work with . Does it impact . In my opinion, in terms of people with good will, not at all. Theres an awful lot of officers who have the best intentions who work really hard. Those in the das office should be ready for an approach that targets crime.

This is not unusual for the east coast, but its hardly common. Its not common. 58 earthquakes in the stit of delaware since 1871. This one happens to be the largest in the United States today. Which is quite impressive when you consider all the states that have such big and violent earthquakes out west. This is the shake map. Im not sure if you can make out all the squiggly lines. Were going to put this up online. But this is the shake map and this is actually based on reports they get. They get reports they have had upwards of 7,000 reports as of half hour ago. Thats probably doubled by now. They lock at how far out it could have gone. Right here, where you see this star, about ten miles northeast of dover is where the earthquake struck. Somewhere between 4. 1 and 4. 4 in magnitu magnitude. Thats yet to be determined. Whats known is it was shallow about 4 miles or less down. Which is you could really feel it spread out through all of this looser soil. This is not hard bedrock like youd find in the mountain regions out west. You can feel it all the way out here in new york and connecticut and all the way down into parts of washington, maryland and all the way to d. C. And all the way past hagerstown. People could feel it past harrisburg, state college, reports from there. What really is dependent on whether or not you could feel this or not is hiow high you wee in a building and what you were standing on. A bridge with a lot of sway or give or fill underneath it, l e likely, you could feel it. Were going to be bringing you more about this over the days ahead as they finally analyze it and get down to what was going on. But again, the most powerful earthquake in the last 24 hours right here to the northeast. Harrisburg, we have showers that are showing up on the radar. And you can see this line is moving very quickly in our direction. It will through quickly and it will be gone behind it clearing going to break out overnight tonight and into tomorrow. So by 8 00 tonight in berks county, we could be looking at showers. Temperatures will drop into the 40s. By 10 00 or so, perhaps in tld, these are light, scattered showers. Watch what happens after 10 00. The whole thing breaks apart. It really kind of bumping into dry air. Clearing skies to follow. When you wake up in the morning, low to mid40s.

And we are going to be looking at possibly saturday and sunday rain with a rain snow mix. Places like the poconos talking about. Were going to be busy for the second half of december with extremely cold air in place and possibly kind of a series of storm systems coming through. So my advice is locate your snow shovel and that snow blower and make sure they are ready to go in case. It could be a busy december. You leave us with snow.
