Default Mild Tremor in Philadelphia Vicinity??

Receiving scattered reports that the USGS confirmed there was a mild, 2.8 tremor that was felt through certain sections of Philadelphia this afternoon at around 2:37 pm. Thankfully, no damage or injuries reported and it appears that most all of the "shakin' going on" was in the vicinity of N. 18th St. and Windram Ave. Hmmm, that rings a distant bell?

CNN interviewed one eye witness to the event (pictured below) who was obviously in a mild state of shock and was heard mumbling the same words over and over, "Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer." No clue on that one, perhaps more news at 11?

It may have been Ben Franklin turning over in his grave because of the events in Baltimore.

Got it Steve. The tremor thing threw me off track for a minute. I just figured it was the pressure building for the "Rumble in the Hollow" coming up that first weekend in June.

I am not ready to admit Parkers are superior but I do admit they are not bad for a second choice.

Hammer guns have a way of multiplying. I am actually trying to get rid of one or two
