A powerful magnitude 3.0 earthquake jolted Virginia, sending shockwaves through the state and neighbouring regions. The tremor was felt by over 150 people across multiple states, including Virginia, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Maryland. Although no injuries or damage have been reported, the earthquake caused moderate shaking, which can be strong enough to rattle doors or break dishes. Virginia, typically not known for frequent quakes, has experienced several in recent years, with a major 5.8 earthquake hitting the area in 2011. Experts warn that larger, more damaging earthquakes could strike in the future, potentially affecting highly populated areas.
