Small earthquake recorded in Maryland

Here’s a new one. The U.S. Geological Survey recorded a 2.2 magnitude earthquake in Crownsville, Md., at 10:07 p.m. Saturday.

The quake, in Anne Arundel County, was about 8 miles north west of Annapolis.

Virginia has become accustomed to minor aftershocks since the 5.8 magnitude Aug. 23, 2011 earthquake that struck in Mineral, leaving some damage in the D.C. area, including the Washington Monument, National Cathedral and the Lake Jackson dam in Manassas. Since then, there have been hundreds of aftershocks, the latest on June 27.
