From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Earthquake       mentioned among the extraordinary phenomena of Palestine (Ps.       18:7; comp. Hab. 3:6; Nah. 1:5; Isa. 5:25).                The first earthquake in Palestine of which we have any record       happened in the reign of Ahab (1 Kings 19:11, 12). Another took       place in the days of Uzziah, King of Judah (Zech. 14:5). The       most memorable earthquake taking place in New Testament times       happened at the crucifixion of our Lord (Matt. 27:54). An       earthquake at Philippi shook the prison in which Paul and Silas       were imprisoned (Act 16:26).                It is used figuratively as a token of the presence of the Lord       (Judg. 5:4; 2 Sam. 22:8; Ps. 77:18; 97:4; 104:32).
