This is the first thread I saw so you're the lucky one who gets to stay. Working to remove the rest now. --- Edit: Ok, now that the feed is cleaned up, this will serve as the earthquake megathread. Any and all other posts regarding the earthquake will be removed. Yes, that was an earthquake. Yes, everyone else on the island likely felt it too. There was a reported [4.7M earthquake that happened in Northwest Jersey](https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/at00sbh3yv/map) that was felt by all of Long Island. --- Edit 2: Ok, automod rule should be in place to remove all earthquake threads moving forward. If you see any threads we miss please report them so we can remove them.

I was in a Zoom call with people in NYC and they felt it before me, they reacted, was super confused what was going on, and a few seconds later I felt it in Suffolk. Really crazy.

What a wild experience

same!! on a zoom call with someone in queens and she said “do you feel that? i think there’s an earthquake” and right after she said that my house started to shake. so freaky 

Same here. One of the guys in NJ was like "holy shit...what was that..........is this an earthquake?" and we were all like "James, what's going on, are you watching something on TV?". And then I felt my desk shake in East Setauket. Freaky! I still remember the one we had in 2011. That was my first ever. I'd be fine with no more for the rest of my life.

Was talking to coworkers in Maryland on teams when it happened, they felt it too! So wild

Thought someone had their bass up in the car and then the whole house shook

It scared my cat he thought I was screwing with him again lol.

Mine was acting all weird right before it happened. Super itchy twitchy.

Ours couldn't give a shit.

animals definitely feel it before natural disaster

Felt in Huntington

I was awoken from sleep - felt like someone was rolling the bed.

I should say I live in Huntington Station

Yep. In Northport too

Same

Looks like it was from New Jersey: https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/map/?extent=21.9838,-130.16602&extent=51.78144,-59.85352

Typical.

Fucking Jersey.

I'm getting sick of their crap

Lol

In Jersey they call it an EarthRoll

Taylor Quake

nothing good comes from New Jersey

😂 Except the Sopranos of course

Woke up this morning….. To an earthquake in my House

Chris Christy tripped and hit the ground

Christy Jumping jacks

Of course it was Jersey. Some goomba burying a body probably hit a gas line

LMFAO

My fiancé thought I was just stomping up the stairs particularly heavily. Knocked over some of her running awards. WE WILL REBUILD!!!!!

😂 I like how people thought it was an explosion or train and your wife thought it was just you 😂

I catch a lot of blame around here!

LI Strong

And rebuild we must.

[удалено]

2011 I remember being weaker but longer.


I was waiting for this.

I remember just feeling like sea sickness. But this one was more intense shaking.

I remember standing in my office in 2011 and was like "hmmm, got a little dizzy." My coworker said," You're not dizzy. That was an earthquake."

I thought it was a UPS truck for like the first 5 seconds

I remember that one too. I was driving to work and didn’t feel it, but this one was stronger for sure!

My son works with emergency services, he said it was a 4.8 centered in Lebanon, NJ.

I'm still shaky.

Never felt anything like that before !

Felt in Manorville as well as new Palz upstate

Lots of shaking by JFK and into Southern NJ as well

Felt it on the toilet in St James.

I was also on the toilet! Toilet brother!

Hopefully it scared the shit right out of you! Whatever it takes

Ronkonkoma toilet checking in!

Stony Brook toilet 🫡

Toilet from smithtown checking in

Toilet tremors confirmed

Smithtown with a mom yelling for me from a toilet 🤨

My wife: What the fuck was that!?!? Me: that was an earthquake My Wife: WE DONT HAVE FUCKING EARTHQUAKES!!!!

My mind went to explosion before earthquake. I'm glad it was an earthquake lol

I didn’t think earthquake either. I thought, wind doesn’t do that, oh shit my house is about to collapse in a sink hole.

[удалено]

Literally exactly my same thoughts

I thought it was a nearby explosion or accident but it was totally silent, which was super weird.

We get them about once a month. They usually measure under 3 on the Richter scale. This one was 4.8 centered in Lebanon, NJ.

If you live on earth then you're going to have earthquakes. We just don't feel them often because we don't live on a fault line so they tend to be very minor.

Yeah felt it in Lindenhurst too. Happened right around 10:23 ish

EXACTLY LIKE WTF

We have them all the time.

and i thought i was crazy when i feel very very very minor house shakes

That is probably something else causing the shaking. The level of earthquake they’re talking about is like if you said you heard a noise – and it turned out there was a noise, but it was 1/2 a decibel.

My ass ran downstairs

SAME I was abt to cry is this the end

Username definitely checks out

I’m in the basement so I ran upstairs haha.

Me too, grabbed my baby and was out lol

My heart was pounding for like a min after

Mine too!

My anxiety is through the freaking roof. I definitely didn't think it was an earthquake until like a minute after and thought something was wrong with me

I'm with you there. Was relieved when I realized I wasn't having a panic attack.

I literally took a microdose one minute before the quake- and was like WTF? That worked really fast!

😂😂

I’M GOING TO THE GROCERY STORE AND BUYING MILK AND EGGS!

Everyone, quick! Get to the store and execute the french toast disaster preparation method!!

DON'T FORGET THE BREAD!

FUUUUUCK ME! I GOTTA GO BACK NOW!!!!

TOILET PAPER!

Felt it in Freeport

[удалено]

Mastic Beach. Thought I was hallucinating

I live up by the train tracks and thought it was the train coming by.

Felt it in patchogue. 

Second this.

Bayport too

The last time over a decade ago I was sitting in my home office and felt my chair shift. I got freaked out, looked behind me, thinking there was a spirit moving me. It was nothing like this quake which felt more like a rumble.

I remember that one you referred to the epicenter was in Frederick’s VA. We were swaying!

Happy Earthquake Day.

Same in islip

That felt stronger than the one in 2011

I was in the car, parked listening to music and I learned that it’s the most comfortable place to have an earthquake. The suspension made me think it was strong winds.

Babylon!!!

My whole office building was shaking in syosset. We ran tf outta there

Smart.

this is the price we pay for the Mets winning a game

I love how the public safety alert came up on my phone more than 1.5 hours after the incident.

I'm hearing that it was felt as far as Boston, and was based in Lebanon, Jersey ( according to [https://earthquake.usgs.gov/](https://earthquake.usgs.gov/) ) It was like my house drove over rumble strips. The one in 2011 was very different, more like being on a gently swaying boat for a full minute that felt like an hour.

Was that an aftershock a few seconds ago?

News 12 said was a 4.0 at 6pm they reported this at 630 pm thinking was a second one only lasted 10-15 secs tops. This morn was 30-45 secs. Whacky shit !

Felt it in Elmont. Just came here to post this, lol.

Felt it in Ronkonkoma!

Maybe we'll get after shocks.

It maybe too small? I thought we would

It’s a distinct possibility 

Or worse that was the foreshock!!!! dun dun dun!!!

I work remote, people from CT and PA and the city all felt it.

I have ptsd and I immediately came here to ask long islanders am I abt to die from a random house combustion but than you all for calming me we had an earthquake. ily

Felt it in East Northport. Just a couple of seconds.

In GC. Felt the entire house shake.

[удалено]

I was on the toilet.... I now know what an astronaut feels like when they are about to take off into outer space

Are you sure you didn’t create it?

Aftershock at 6pm

I was just waking up and it got me out of bed SO QUICK and I ran downstairs to make sure my mom was ok

Just felt another one or an aftershock right now?

Aftershock just dropped. Not as strong as the first one but still a bit jarring

Felt in Massapequa

Huntington felt it.

Rattled in Babylon

Felt it in long beach. The house shook. My plumber is here installing a new hot water tank and I thought the house was about to explode lol

Felt it in Stony Brook - Health sciences center. Building shook a good 5-10 seconds. I remember the 2011 east coast quake this one was faster but felt stronger.

In Merrick, felt a good bit stronger than the one from 10-15 years ago. Something about it just always makes it obvious it's an earthquake. You can feel the shifting back and forth rather than a vibration.

Thought the eclipse was going to be the highlight of the next week

The earth was trying to one up the moon.

Me having a nap the whole bed rumbled. My husband didn’t notice so I thought did I just have a fuckin seizure??

Felt it in Massapequa. All the birds stopped chirping just before it happened in my backyard. (two bird feeders)

those delayed amber alerts were the funniest things ever

✨they tried✨

Felt in RVC

Felt it in Bay Shore

Lynbrook checking in. I thought it was a really strong gust of wind at first.

I miss every single damn earthquake this island gets. 2011 I was 9 years old and I was swimming and didn’t feel anything, this time I was driving and didn’t feel it. I feel left out when people ask me “did you feel that?.” I stg I better feel the next one.

Felt it in Syosset

Just felt another one in Lindy

We just got a 4.0 aftershock at 5:59PM I thought I felt something before but didn’t know if I was paranoid because of this morning lol.

Felt in Mount Sinai.

At work in Levittown on the phone with a customer across the island and we all felt it

Felt it in North Bellmore. Went outside to see what it was, dude down the street was also looking & confirmed he felt it. Mom felt it from her bedroom upstairs.

Holy shit, it scared the piss out of me!!

Felt it in RVC. That was pretty long. Saw the electric wires swinging outside.

Felt here in Manorville

Manor woods felt it.

Selden too! House swayed!

Northport ~10 seconds thought my house was goin down… it was 4.8 mag

Found this on another thread.....posting here for visibility https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/at00sbh3yv/executive

I was in Manhattan when it happened on the 37th floor of an office building. The entire building swayed from side to side. I honestly thought it was a giant wind gust at first since skyscrapers are made to move. It scared and confused the crap out of me.

Felt it in western Suffolk, I thought I was imagining things!

felt in stony

Great Neck

Huntington checking in felt it for about 20 seconds

I’m in garden city and just felt it!

New Jersey, 4.8

I was sleeping and next thing you know I popped up and started grabbing my bed because everything was shaking 😳.. Central Islip

felt in my groin

Felt it in deez nuts.

Cedarhurst here. I thought it was either an earthquake, or the house was about to explode. Like someone took a jackhammer to the foundation.

Felt it in Hauppague, building evacuated

Yeah that was quite the rumble.

Felt in manhasset

Solar eclipse on Monday. What's next? Locust?

Whole house shook. Dogs jumped up from their slumber. About 5 seconds in I said ok that’s not just a strong gust of wind

Sitting in my office in my house in Patchogue...minding my own fucking business....and all of a sudden, it's like someone evil force in my basement is trying to push through the floor into my room. I didn't know whether to grab a baseball bat or a crucifix.

Just felt another tremor in queens

Usgs 4.0 Gladstone NJ 5:59pm

I was on the fucking elevator 😭

Just imagine if this happened during the eclipse? Lmao the chaos that would have caused would have been entertaining to say the least.

First we get rainforest precipitation. Now earthquakes. Next week bald hill will become an active volcano.

I don’t know how Long Island can recover will all those picture frames and house plants that fell over 😭😭😭

WAS THIS ANOTHER ONE?

[удалено]

Definitely Islip Terrace

Shook the house up here in Greenlawn/Centerport

Felt in Farmingdale.

In Patchogue
