The total felt area covered points from Maine to Virginia in a long, narrow elliptical zone of about 92,000 square kilometers. Articles fell from shelves and buildings rocked (intensity VI) in several Hunterdon County towns. The shock was fairly sharp at Camden and Burlington. At Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, broken windows and overturned crockery were reported.The Capital of New Jersey is Trenton.The New Jersey state flower is The state flower of New Jersey was originally designated as such by a resolution of the Legislature in 1913. Unfortunately the force of resolution ended with the start of the 1914 legislative session, leaving the violet with uncertain status for the next fifty years. In 1963 an attempt was made to have the Legislature "officially" designate the violet as the state flower, but the legislation apparently failed. In 1971, at the urging of New Jersey's garden clubs, legislation more specifically designating the Common Meadow Violet (Viola sororia) as the state flower was enacted.
