Last Friday, a 4.8 magnitude earthquake in New Jersey around 10:23 in the morning was felt in Connecticut; specifically in our listening area. Is that magnitude significant? Are earthquakes that size rare in the Northeast? How can Connecticut residents prep for earthquakes in future? For all that and more, we spoke with Jeffrey Park, Professor of Earth and Planetary Sciences at Yale University.
