Fun fact: The strongest in NJ is 5.3 recorded in 1783. So 4.7 is up there for us.

I am in Pittsburgh. My two sisters in Jersey started texting asking if anyone felt anything. One is wfh in her basement office in Sussex County. Said it scared the crap out of her. The other is in Monroe. Her whole house shook hard.

I see there was a smaller one in Hunterdon County March 15. Uh oh, fault lines under NJ are starting to move.

I probably would have thought it was old PTSD from 9/11 and ignored it. Sometimes I feel the floor shifting when it isn't.

We've got the Ramapo and Hopewell faults, so we aren't immune. Nowhere is, really.

Been living in Jersey for over 52 years and aware the earth is always moving bit I’ve felt quakes in NJ before but this is the strongest and longest at 4.8, I ever felt. It was scary.

Yes, I thought the building might come down. I’ve lived in NJ my whole life and felt a few minor quakes but nothing like this.

I'm sort of disappointed that I didn't feel it! I was in Costco's North Brunswick store at the time of the quake, and I only learned of it from phone calls and texts a couple of minutes after I got back to my car.

I was driving during the last quake and didn’t feel it. They called it “earthquake envy.”
