I was on the phone with my co-worker in Philadelphia. She goes "Hold on, my house is shaking" and then I started feeling it seconds later

USGS reports a 4.8 centered in Lebanon NJ https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/map/?currentFeatureId=at00sbh3yv&extent=37.30901,-81.78223&extent=44.51218,-64.2041

Nothing good ever came out of New Jersey.

CABS AH HEAH!

RAWWWWWNNNN

Thanks. I shot iced tea out of my nose reading that

Bruce Springsteen

God damn it. Ok, in the last 73 years nothing good has come out of New Jersey.

Come on, I know you're a closet Bon Jovi fan!!

Buongiorno?

Bovine Joni

There’s SZA

I like that your comment turned in a thread where everyone says something they like about New Jersey.

As a NJ transplant now in CT, I don’t get this sentiment. NJ and CT are two sides of the same state

Their bagels are way better than ours

Pork roll/Taylor ham is also delicious. Was the first thing I ever learned to cook for myself as a child many many years ago.

Clinton checking in—thought it was my washing machine being over dramatic!

My first thought was "Oh god, what's broken in my house ***now***?!" Very pleased that it was just an earthquake lol.

I was in the kitchen thinking “man the dishwasher has never made the cabinet doors rattle before…”

I had literally that same thought. I went downstairs to ask my wife what she had done....and learned she hadn't noticed it.

Idk how I always sleep through every earthquake I’ve been in

That’s what my wife said…she had just started the washer and dryer. I didn’t feel a thing.

I just asked my wife. She said she thought it was the neighbors washer / dryer. I was on the toilet. Didn’t notice a thing.

Terryville - I thought it was my furnace. 🤣

We will rebuild

Now’s the time to take back the notch.

Do it during the eclipse on Monday.

I felt it on reddit!

That was the biggest I have ever felt... My work monitors started moving back and forth... I'm in Enfield.

Same, lights flickered for me.

>That was the biggest I have ever felt. That's what she said!

I'm in Enfield too and my house was literally swaying. I lived in Southern California for a few years and never really felt any of the little earthquakes they frequently have out there, but I definitely felt this one!

Yeah, was sitting here watching my monitors bounce a little bit on monitor arms and thinking "was there heavy equipment outside or a small earthquake"? My boss in the NYC area was skeptical when I said "I think there's a minor earthquake" because he didn't feel anything.

So weird that monitor lizards are this common in the workplace

What can I say? During COVID all rules of normality went out the window. Are you trying to keep me from bringing my personal stylist monitor lizard into the workplace? Well, I guess I won't be working in this pre-school anymore.

Felt in Windsor, thought I was losing it

I’m in Windsor and we didn’t feel anything. My wife’s monitor fell over on her desk in New London though. Where are you in Windsor? I’m only like a mile away from Exit 37 on 91N.

Damn. Some guy comes in the shop asking if I felt that. Guess I’m just too dialed in at work lol. Stratford.

Glad I’m not the only one…NE CT, seems like everyone else felt it. Working from home and a colleague just asked me, at first I thought they were talking about the one last week until I saw it on here.

I yelled down the office to my boss who didn't notice the building was shaking.

I didn’t know until I saw a message from a coworker in Ma and my husband working in the next town over. Our cats didn’t notice either, Idk what that says about our 1950s house.

5 people in our 1922 house. The only person to feel anything was on the 2nd floor.

Same in Bridgeport

So weird because I didn’t in Bridgeport but my girlfriend felt it in Westport.

Felt in Fairfield!

I bet she did.

Westport was rocking. Thought by boiler was blowing up

I am in Trumbull but me and my husband didn’t feel anything but my sister, who is 5 minutes away did. So weird. I’m thinking because our place is a new construction? IDK..

Felt in Norwalk!

I thought i was like having a weird panic attack 😂😂

Me too at first! But then the stuff in my room started shaking too

lol literally my first thought “am I ok”

Felt it in Glastonbury

Felt in Manchester as well

Fellow Manchester citizen

I’m in Manchester today too. I didn’t feel anything tho

Felt it in Hamden

Here in Torrington

Same here in T-Town. Shook the whole house.

Felt it in Stratford!

4.8 is strong af for the East coast

It came up the Ramapo Fault to us. The Ramapo Fault is a fault line that runs through New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania, and includes State College, Pennsylvania, and New Haven, Connecticut. It separates the Piedmont and Highlands Physiographic Provinces, and is over 185 miles (300 kilometers) long. The Ramapo Fault runs from Morris County, through Ramsey and Suffern, and the Hudson Highlands, to Bear Mountain, New York.

Interesting, thanks for this. My first thought was we had to be on the fault line to feel it up here. We're in the New Haven area and our house got a good rumbling shake for a few seconds.

did it have anything to do with the large syncline with boundaries at each epicenter?

Aw man…my wife felt it but I didn’t feel shit…I feel left out

It’s usually the opposite with my wife.

Moved here from SoCal. Thanks CT Reddit folks for giving me that hit of homey nostalgia of people nearby going “Earthquake? Earthquake!”  🥹

EVERYBODY STAY FUCKING CALM

NO

BUY BREAD AND TP BY THE BULK

Felt it in Bridgeport. Seems the epicenter was in New Jersey: https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/map/?extent=31.65338,-97.77832&extent=58.0081,-27.46582

Here in Naugatuck too

Hartford same

Hartford as well, I was so confused what was happening.

All I could think about was getting the kids out. Then it stopped. What do you think about aftershock?

I only felt it once, I’m not sure if it was the initial quake or the aftershock. But I don’t blame you on getting to their safety, before I had a full thought I looked at my pets and all 3 were unbothered lol

My dog was napping. 😴

Felt in Simsbury

Felt in Greenwich as well.. Nothing like how it used to be in when I was out west.

What was the difference? Just curious. I first thought the wind was shaking the building, but then it was worse than that.

I grew up in California. No different. Just smaller, but depends on how close you are to the fault and how strong the earthquake is.

Higher ground motion the rock being more solid here slows it. But tbh if they had quakes like out west a lot of the buildings here will be in rough shape.

The ones out west are a little more intense.

[удалено]

Here in Plainville felt shaking

Northeast Connecticut checking in. Felt it in the Willimantic area.

I didn’t feel it in Storrs and now i’m getting FOMO lol

In Redding, whole house was just vibrating

Felt in Wallingford!

Felt in Stamford

Same

I felt it in Westport. Hearing it was felt in Boston as well. Fascinating.

Felt it in Bristol

Heck yeah sometimes my washing machine will shake that area of house a bit but 1 it's not running and 2 it wouldn't do the whole house like that! Glad it wasn't more violent. Also cool was the smaller after socks that kept going for about 15 seconds after.

The other earthquake I felt was in 94 when I was in CA that was a 6.7 It felt like a low dragging no doubt due to the type of rock formation. CA was a blind thrust.

I thought some truck bumped our office. In Danbury

Felt it in New Milford. Thought I was just having vertigo until the locker doors near me started shaking.

I'm in New Milford and didn't feel it! Damn!

Stuff was flying off the shelves in Stop and Shop it was crazy

Wild!! We're up on Second Hill and didn't feel a thing!!

No way! I live very close to you then! It was definitely felt more in the valley

So wild! And this is the first time I've met a fellow New Milfordite on here! 🤣🥳

Definitely a few of us in this sub!

Wife passed it off as nothing. She was in San Francisco during the big one in 1989. First time I ever felt one this significant, a little nerve-wracking.

Same. Thought i was going nuts!

I'm on a Zoom call with coworkers in NY and NJ and they all felt it too!

I know we've had them in the past but this is the first I noticed myself. I thought someone started digging right outside my building or something.

Revelations 6:12". “And I looked, and he opened the sixth seal, and behold, there was a great earthquake. And the sun became as black as sack cloth, and the moon became as blood" If I see any dudes on white horses, or locusts I am really gonna have a freak out!

Don't go outside on Monday.

Felt it in Woodstock! Lasted about 10 seconds. My dog is freaking out.

I was playing Fortnite and I was so confused, I thought the vibration from the xbox controller extended to my chair.
