NEWPORT, Del. — The National Earthquake Center says a small earthquake shook parts of New Jersey, Delaware and Pennsylvania Wednesday morning.
The center says the earthquake measured 2.7 on the Richter scale. That's big enough to feel, but too small to cause much damage.
Its epicenter was in Newport, Del., near Wilmington.
Salem County, N.J., deputy administrator Robin Weinstein says he felt shaking in his emergency management office at 9:46 a.m. No injuries or damage were reported.
A spokesman for PSE&G; Nuclear, which operates three nuclear power plants in Salem County, says the quake was too minor to register on the plant's monitoring devices and the plants are running at full power.
