Maryland
Earthquake History
The earliest recorded earthquake
in Maryland occurred in Annapolis,
on April 24, 1758. The shock lasted
30 seconds and was preceded by
subterranean noises. Additional felt
reports were received from a few points
in Pennsylvania.
The great earthquake series of
1811 -1812
centered near New Madrid,
Missouri, affected an area of
2 million square miles, including Maryland.
A moderate-sized earthquake on
March 9, 1828, was felt over all of
Virginia, West Virginia, and portions
of neighboring states, including Maryland.
The effects at Baltimore resulted
in considerable shaking of doors
and agitation of other objects. The
center of this earthquake was not
accurately fixed, but it was probably
in southwest Virginia. Another shock
centered in Virginia, on August 27,
1833, was felt noticeably in Baltimore.
A similar pattern followed on April 29,
1852, from a moderate shock in
southwestern Virginia. Considerable
alarm was noted in Baltimore, while
Annapolis was reported as merely
feeling the tremor.
Harford County, Maryland, was
shaken by two or three earthquakes
the night of March 11 and the morning
of March 12, 1883. The intensity
was in the IV - V range, (clocks
stopped at Fallston) with felt points
also noted in Baltimore County.
Another moderate shock occurred
less than two years later, on January 2,
1885, in an area near the Frederick
County, Maryland - Loudon County,
Virginia, border. Maximum intensity
reached V, with the total felt area
covering more than 3,500 square
miles. Clarke, Fairfax, Fauquier, and
Shenandoah Counties, Virginia, also
reported this earthquake.
Since 1885, earth vibrations felt
in Maryland have been associated with
sources for adjacent states and points
as far away as the St. Lawrence Valley
and Timiskaming, Canada.
The great earthquake of
August 31,
1886, near Charleston, South
Carolina, affected a total area with
a radius of about 800 miles, including
all of Maryland. The Appalachian region
had somewhat less noticeable
effects than elsewhere. This "shadow
zone" extended through the parallel
portions of West Virginia, Maryland,
and Pennsylvania. The most severe
earthquake in Virginia's history (May 31,
1897 in Giles County) shook an
area of about 280,000 square miles.
Baltimore and southern Maryland
along the eastern shore reported
distinct shaking. An earthquake centered
near Luray, Virginia, (April 9, 1918)
reached many points in Maryland:
Bagley, Baltimore, Chewsville, Clear
Spring (Intensity V), College Park,
Takoma Park, and Woodstock.
A
magnitude 7.0 earthquake in 1925
(February 28), centered in the St.
Lawrence River region near Murray
bay, Canada, caused only moderate
intensity effects, but was remarkable
for the large area affected, which
included all of eastern Canada and
portions of the United States south
of Virginia and west to the Mississippi
River. This area covered approximately
2 million square miles. Damage
was confined to a narrow belt on both
sides of the St. Lawrence River. Baltimore
and Overlea reported this
earthquake as being felt lightly.
Another Canadian earthquakes, a
magnitude 6 1/4 shock on November 1,
1935, near Timiskaming, resulted in
only minor damage in the nearby
region, but was felt over a great area,
extending as far south as Washington, D.C.,
and as far west as Wisconsin. Felt
points in Maryland included Chestertown (intensity IV),
Annapolis, Baltimore, Bel Air, Cumberland,
Frederick, Hancock, Havre De Grace,
Laurel, and Westminster (intensity
III or lower).
The felt area of still another
earthquake in the St. Lawrence River
region reached to Maryland and Pennsylvania
and west to Michigan. This shock on
September 4, 1944, caused
an estimated $2 million damage in
the epicentral area. The towns of
Baltimore and Westminster, Maryland,
were near the extreme southern points
reporting this earthquake.
In recent years moderate-sized
earthquakes in nearby states have been
felt in Maryland with only minimal
effects. A single felt report was
received from West Hyattsville,
associated with a November 19, 1969,
earthquake (magnitude 4.3) near
Elgood, West Virginia. The February 10,
1972, tremor at Wilmington, Delaware,
was felt at Elkton, Maryland. On
February 28, 1973, residents
throughout a broad area of the
middle-Atlantic region of the United States
were jolted out of their sleep by
shock waves from a minor earthquake near
the Delaware - New Jersey - Pennsylvania
border. Numerous points in
northeastern Maryland reported this
earthquake.
Abridged from
Earthquake Information Bulletin, Volume 5, Number 4,
July - August 1973.
Addendum:
A reader from Annapolis writes: "In your information about earthquakes
in Maryland, you say that the first Maryland earthquake
occurred on 24 April 1758. I believe this date is an error. The
(Annapolis) Maryland Gazette reports on 23 March 1758 that at two
minutes before 10 the previous night there had been a 'very considerable
Shock of an EARTHQUAKE' that lasted half a minute. Prior
to the quake, there was a 'rumbling Noise'. This sounds like the
description you give of the 24 April event. I found nothing in the
Maryland Gazette for 27 April and 4 May 1758 regarding another such
event. Therefore, I believe that the correct date for
Maryland's 1758 earthquake was 22 March 1758. This was not the first
quake felt in Annapolis. The Cape Ann, MA, quake of 18
November 1755 was felt in Annapolis."
In subsequent correspondence, our reader provided additional
information: "The publisher of the Maryland Gazette, Jonas Green, was
a science buff. He reports all sorts of natural phenomena -- from a
sighting of the aurora borealis to major weather events to
experiments with electricity. Green had apprenticed in Philadelphia,
knew Franklin, and was a colleague of well-educated Annapolis
gentry. ... As far as the epicenter of the March quake being near
Philadelphia, I have checked the Philadelphia Gazette as closely
as possible for earthquakes in March and April 1758 and found no mention
at all of any quake in the area. The only earthquake in
Maryland or Pennsylvania that I can find reported in the paper is the
one at Annapolis, which was noted in the Pennsylvania Gazette
of 13 April 1758."
Our reader makes a convincing case. The citations we have checked for
the date of 24 April are all secondary sources, citing
earlier references but not quoting them in sufficient detail that we are
confident that the dates were correctly preserved from
original sources. Earthquake histories are unfortunately not immune to
errors in dates, because the information about a specific
earthquake may be contaminated by errors that occurred when later
authors transcribed information written by earlier authors.
The secondary sources that we have found attribute the shaking of March
22 (Local time; March 23 in Universal Coordinated Time) to
an earthquake with an epicenter in Pennsylvania. Our reader's failure
to find much on the March earthquake in the Pennsylvania
Gazette suggests, however, that the earthquake, if it actually occurred
in Pennsylvania, was not centered near regions of European
settlement.
The reader is also correct that the 1755 Massachusetts earthquake was felt at Annapolis.

Isaiah 56:
[7] Even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them
joyful in my house of prayer: their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall
be accepted upon mine altar; for mine house shall be called an house
of prayer for all people.
Philippians 2:
[1] If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of
love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies, [2] Fulfill
ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of
one mind. [3] Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in
lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. [4] Look
not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others. [5]
Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: [6] Who, being
in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: [7] But
made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was
made in the likeness of men: [8] And being found in fashion as a man, he
humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. [9]
Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above
every name: [10] That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of
things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; [11]
And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of
God the Father.

This
second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in both which I stir up your
pure minds by way of remembrance: That ye may be mindful of the words which
were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the
apostles of the Lord and Savior: Knowing this first, that there shall come in
the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts; And saying, Where is
the promise of his coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all things
continue as they were from the beginning of the creation. For this they
willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and
the earth standing out of the water and in the water: Whereby the world that
then was, being overflowed with water, perished: But the heavens and the earth,
which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against
the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men. But, beloved, be not
ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years,
and a thousand years as one day. The Lord is not slack concerning His promise,
as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that
any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. But the day of
the Lord, the One in Supreme Authority, will come as a thief in the night; in
the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise and roar, and the
elements shall be destroyed and melt with fervent heat; the earth also, and the
labors, and works that are therein shall be burned up and completely consumed.
Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved and destroyed, What
manner of persons ought ye to be living in holy and sacred behavior and
godliness; awaiting, anticipating and looking for with speed, earnestly
awaiting and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens
being on fire shall be dissolved, destroyed, and the elements shall burn and
melt with fervent heat? Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for
new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. II Peter
3:1-13.
