Rare 4.0 Magnitude Earthquake Strikes Off Florida's Coast

The earthquake, unusual for the region, was felt by residents along the state's east coast, with no reports of significant damage.

A 4.0 magnitude earthquake occurred about 100 miles east of Cape Canaveral late Wednesday, marking a rare seismic event for Florida.
Residents in various towns and cities reported feeling the tremor, though no serious damage or injuries have been reported.
The earthquake's occurrence is notable due to the lack of significant seismic activity historically recorded in the area off Florida's Atlantic coast.
More than 100 people reported feeling the earthquake, highlighting its impact despite its relatively low magnitude.
The region where the earthquake occurred has had only one other recorded seismic event since 1900, underscoring the rarity of such incidents off Florida's coast.
