Really?? I'm downtown and felt nothing lol

That was so strange! My building is under construction, so at first, I thought it was that.

This was less scary than the East Coast earthquake in 2011 when I was working in the Senate, and everyone thought it was a terrorist attack.

[vicky]

DUDE. My house shook harder than I ever felt in SD.
4.8 in Brooklyn.

[cjcouple]

I just felt it! I'm in Northeast corner of CT.

Everyone local to me is posting about it. I'm at work in Needham and didn't feel anything here.

There’s so much construction today that I thought it was related to that. The banging didn’t even stop during that 20-30 secs.

My husband also felt it in PA so I’ll be curious to hear the epicenter.

To me it felt stronger than the earthquake 10 or so years ago. I live in a big building and nothing fell over but it was def rumbling for a bit and I was like oh! This is happening!

[jinkies]

Felt in Philly burbs! I live near a quarry and their blasting shakes the house almost every day, but for about 3 seconds. This felt almost exactly the same, except that it went on for so long. I actually ran out of the house when it didn't stop because I was worried something was on the verge of exploding in my basement or something LOL.

Crazy!

That was wild!

I’m in the midst of a very boring training meeting, and I turned my camera off bc I was staring around the room open-mouthed.

When I saw my 2 other local co-workers had gone off-camera as well, I was like “okay, definitely an earthquake” 😂

[plutosmoon]

I'm in the Berkshires and thought I felt a stronger than usual train. Then someone posted about an earthquake, and I never actually heard the train nor did it last as long as the train, so I think I felt it. I would have thought we were too far, but people in Albany are reporting it.

Hi, I'm people.  Can confirm!  I think our house shook for a good 2 minutes.  Never all that hard, but it just kept going and going and going.  It was unnerving.  Things on the walls swayed back and forth a bit.

I’m in Quincy and my coworker in Weymouth felt nothing 😂

[lilafowler]

To be honest at first I thought I was having some kind of drug flashback from misspent youth.

[pierogigirl]

Upstate NY, north of Albany. We felt it! I thought it was strong wind shaking the house, but it wasn't windy.

It definitely wasn't that strong over on this side of the mountain, but good to know I'm not imagining things!

The Empire State Building's FB page just posted I AM FINE lol

[sproctopus]

I didn't feel anything but everyone else around me did? Is it possible to be this non-observant? Am I real?

I have never felt the past ones in NYC that everyone else seemed to feel. This one was the outlier.

[Bad Dingo]

Felt it in CT, sister in Brooklyn said that her building shook like crazy and people on the streets were freaking out. Nephew in Ithaca, NY felt it too.

My dissociation has resulted in ascension. Talent!

I thought it was a low flying Army cargo plane that we get sometimes. Im near base in Nj. All my windows were rattling, walls starting shaking and there was a rumbling sound.

Totally weird

[brooklyn]

My house in Bergen county, NJ shook like crazy

[jinkies]

I also think it's funny how different people perceived the length of it.

I would guess around 30 seconds. People on my neighborhood fb page are estimating anywhere from 10 seconds to 2 minutes.

This was my first earthquake. I feel like I should get a T-shirt or something.

[fortnightlily]

I felt it in Maryland, but I thought it was just my butt spasming from sitting too still.
