Anyone feel the earthquake today?

  • A 4.8 earthquake struck this morning, April 5, 2024, in Tewksbury, NJ.  It was felt as far out as parts of New England, Long Island, all five boroughs of NYC, parts of DE and MD.  I’m too far north, but my nephew called to say his office on Long Island was shaking enough for a monitor screen on his desk to nearly topple.  He caught it and his client was a bit “shaken.”  (Pun intended.) 
    My sister had a day off and slept through it.  My younger nephew was working with his father, driving on the BQE on the way to a fix a steam leak in Brooklyn.  They didn’t notice anything, either, probably because the BQE is in such horrid condition, s person would only notice if suddenly, they got a smooth ride instead of the usual bone rattling, vehicle destroying adventure.  (Road’s been this way for decades, my Dad used to complain about it back in the early 1960’s when he was commuting from Queens to Lakehurst.)
    Trads in PA, VA, CT, or NJ, did you notice anything?  4.8 at the epicenter is certainly something one would feel.  The strongest I’ve been in was 5.0 in St. Lawrence Co., NY in the 1980’s.  I was about three miles from the epicenter.

  • Apparently, there were folks who felt it here in Vermont.  I didn't notice it.  I did experience the Ardsley, NY earthquake in the 80's though.  Woke me up from bed when I was in college.

  • I got a very panicked phone call yesterday at 10:25 a.m. from someone who lives near Rte 78 in NJ, a few miles from the epicenter. I said it must have been a big truck driving by, but no, the leaves on the houseplants were quivering, the dishes and cups were rattling, and the birds had all flown their nests.

  • Yes, we felt mild tremor yesterday morning. 

    And before that Holy Saturday night there was huge tremor that shook our house and bright light in distance.

  • Strange! Did only women feel it?

  • My husband felt it too.  I thought my husband was pushing back and forth on my car. 

    Now Holy Saturday,  my husband, me and our friend on the other side of the county felt it but his wife slept through it. He saw odd light flash. 

    And our pets on Saturday night were scared.

  • Growing up in California, I don't notice quakes until they hit at least 6.5 on the Richter scale.

    This one would have qualified:

    Not surprised.  When the 4.0 hit during college, my roommate (from California) slept thru it.

  • Without giving away too much personal info, I live in NJ and I felt it. I also felt an aftershock later that day, at around 6PM.
