New Jersey earthquake

Jersey got hit with a quake. I thought was just for us folks on the left coast.

Hope you all are ok

There was a 4.8 in the morning and another 4.0 in the early evening. It shook things up a bit and was a little unnerving to someone not used to quakes but all is well. I don't think there was much, if any damage. There's been a few smaller ones over the years but it was certainly the strongest I've ever felt here in NJ.

Thanks for the msg!

Even the earthquakes are leaving...


Hopefully everyone is ok... Must be terrifying...

my very first one was a 4.0 at the epicenter. It was an experience. now days I sleep through 95% of them. the 5% I don't sleep through usually happen when I am between alert and awake. hard to move when you are not sure if you are dreaming of a quake or experiencing one.

The only earthquake I was ever in was a little un, while I was in Anaheim, CA working a NAMM show last century.

Response to these things depends where you live I suppose. How deep was it? Can't say I pay much attention to the fours unless they are quite shallow.

I heard on the radio it was 3 mi deep. In my kitchen, it seemed like a vibration greater than the usual trains I feel, "but this is a big train" and I realized the floor was moving a bit. Upstairs my wife saw a bureau mirror wiggle about 8" E-W. Can't be anything like being in Cali. . .

That is shallow.

I felt it. My apartment is along a subway line so I’m used to a little shaking. This didn’t feel like that. I recognized it as an earthquake.
