Who felt an earthquake on the east coast?

4.8

We felt it way up here in Lake Placid

We felt it down here. I thought maybe a car crashed outside.

@SW-User My friend was working inside of Walmart when the rolling earthquake hit, It was I think a 4.6. She said she never felt it inside the store. I guess customers were coming in later telling her about it.

@cherokeepatti I was walking my dog behind my house. It was subtle so I figured maybe something on the road.

@SW-User I think unless it’s really big it’s harder to feel outdoors than in a building that sways.

I did - 3rd time I experienced that...I think this was bigger than the one in 2011 or so...15 miles North of the city today

@fun4us2b The one in 2011 was a magnitude 5.8 centered in Virginia. This one felt stronger to me because it was closer.

@sciguy18 In 2011 I was in a Manhattan office building and the other buildings were swaying like trees !!! Today's seemed to go on for longer. Waking up one morning in the early 80's I thought it was a large truck passing by...but again, went on for too long and realized what it was.

@fun4us2b Interesting how everyone perceives it. We just had a magnitude 4.0 aftershock at 5:59 PM. That seemed to rumble just as long as the original.

Is it weird that I want to experience one?

Just not one where the building I'm in is crashing down on my head, but to look down and see the earth split and crack sounds intriguing 🥴

@iamnikki yeah you’re looking at that size or bigger if you want the ground to crack
justanothername · 51-55, M
@iamnikki Earth quakes sound and feeling like the side of your house has been hit by a freight train. They are sudden and scary. Real big ones also cause the ground to sway and shake like the ocean swell.
Ive heard felt two in the last 30+ years.
cherokeepatti · 61-69, F
@iamnikki likely you won’t see the earth crack but YIKES if it was bad enough to do that.

Eek, 5.5 is up there…that’s up in the range where most of us Californians even start to pay attention! Hope everyone is ok!
We were spared the worst of it, but the stories and footage are amazing.
Can't imagine what the NJ epicenter was like.

I did not but my wife and adult daughter who is here did. Wonder why not? Am I insensitive?

We felt it here in far Rockaway .
I think we ( in Basking Ridge Nj) May have gotten a slight tremor ( aftershock)about 15 minutes ago.
sciguy18 · M
@soar2newhighs There was a magnitude 4.0 aftershock a few miles southwest of Gladstone just before 6 PM.
@sciguy18 Think I felt it. Thankfully my beer didn’t go flat! I was at the local watering hole.
fun4us2b · M
@sciguy18 Felt it in Westchester too...
I heard what sounded like an explosion. Got up, looked. Saw nothing, felt nothing. It occurred about 15 or so miles west of where I am in NJ.

if that was a few minutes before the initial post in this tread; yes, i did...didn't realize it was that strong a quake though
Penny · 46-50, F
I did. Freaky! Google said it was a 4.8 magnitude earthquake centered in lebanon nj. I hope we dont get anymore

@bookerdana Lol - did you see this in the article 🤦🏻‍♂️

"It was kind of like being in a drum circle, that vibration," she said.
bookerdana · M
@fun4us2b I was moving up and down in bed...had just awakened
HoraceGreenley · 56-60, M
I felt it. Freaky
MissingLink · 51-55, M
I wondered about that, too.
Did you feel it ?
sciguy18 · M
@bijouxbroussard I felt the original and one of the aftershocks about an hour ago.
