Magnitude 4.8 earthquake

A magnitude 4.8 earthquake shook the northeastern United States on Friday morning.

According to the U.S. Geological Survey, the 4.8-magnitude earthquake was detected near Lebanon, New Jersey, at 10:23 a.m. Friday.

The earthquake was felt in New Hampshire down to Maryland.

According to the Richter scale, which is used to measure earthquake magnitude, they considered the event a “light” earthquake. Still, the geological survey posted on X that it was “notable.” They went on further to say earthquakes are “uncommon but not unheard of along the Atlantic Coast”.

It’s not yet clear if anyone was hurt in Friday’s quake.

9-year-old cancer survivor tragically killed

Elyas Amyr Marshall-Rodriguez got off the bus Tuesday afternoon and, as he was walking away from the bus, he dropped his football when he crawled under the bus to get it and the vehicle began moving.

Marshall-Rodriguez was in remission for leukemia when he was killed on Tuesday after being diagnosed at 2-years-old, according to his family who spoke at his vigil.

He loved life

“He was the life of the party,” said Trenae Gayle, Marshall-Rodriguez’ cousin. “He loved football; he loved basketball. He loved all sports.”

The family has set up a GoFundMe.

A teenager in Oregon is being hailed a hero for putting herself in danger to help save the life of a 9-month-old baby.

Oregon teenager saves baby

Majiah Washington, 18, of Portland, said she was inside her home on Wednesday when she saw a flash outside her window.

Washington said after looking outside, she saw a car with a downed power line on top of it, and man and a woman who had been trying to put their child in the car.

“The baby’s mom was yelling to the man, ‘Take my baby out of the car. Take my baby out of the car,'” Washington recalled at a press conference Thursday at the headquarters of Portland Fire & Rescue.

Intense rescue

Washington witnessed the infant’s father attempt to walk up an icy hill with the child, before slipping and falling backwards. The mother attempted the same, followed by another person, who all were unfortunately electrocuted.

Washington ran outside and called 911. When she saw the baby’s head move, she sprung into action. Despite what she had just witnessed and the dangers, she said she walked on the driveway to reach the baby.

Majiah Washington was heroic

Portland Fire and Rescue spokesman Rick Graves described Washington’s efforts as “heroic.”

“We do have fortunately with us a [child] that is going to be able to thrive and do what they possibly can as they move forward,” Graves said Thursday. “And they are here, in part, because of the heroic acts of a member of our community.”
