Yes. Everyone in local FB groups is talking about it. It was eerie.
Felt the same here as hurricane winds shaking my house.
Startling.
Downgraded to a 4.7, I am in California but was on a conference call with people in New Jersey and in Manhattan. They all freaked out.
No injuries. No damage. No prblem.
Living in California, “did you feel that?” is a question you ask your friends on a semi-regular basis. Can imagine it’s quite freaky to those of you living outside of Earthquake Country.
I texted my daughter in NYC as soon as I heard about it. She felt it and is safe.
Felt it. A trembling, a tremoring but it didn’t rattle me somehow.
Hee hee. Baby earthquake.
Baby earthquakes in areas where they are very rare can loosen masonry that will fall and kill a pedestrian.
I heard later on the radio that a few apartment buildings in Newark have been evacuated.
My friend was in the Crown Plaza Newark airport hotel, about 35 miles east of the epicenter. He thought the shaking was due to a jumbo jet passing overhead.
I was driving through NJ to Manhattan when it happened, but we didn’t feel anything.
All our phones went off though with an emergency alert.
We had a little aftershock at 6:00. Not something we are used to, here.
The Earth makes sure that we never get TOO comfortable.
Once in a while, it has to remind us of it’s raw power with a flex or two…
In Kansas we never had earthquakes until 2014 or so. Then we started getting them pretty regularly. It’s due to fracking in Oklahoma
There was a ~4–5.0 earthquake in Red Deer years ago. One quick shake, and was over.
^Heard of a “quickie?”
That was a quakie.
