I’m shopping at a Trader Joe’s in NJ and the whole building started shaking and shit was falling off the shelves. Crazy. Never felt one in my life. This type of thing is supposed to be for California hippies only.

Earthquake hits East Coast, rattling buildings in NYC, Philadelphia and Boston
The U.S. Geological Survey initially measured the earthquake at a 4.8-magnitude. An aftershock of 4.0-magnitude hit later in the day.

As someone who grew up in CA, 4.8 is rookie numbers, pump that shit up

I was in the backyard with the pets and didn't feel shit. Don't think the animals noticed either. Gonna have to check the security cam footage Edit: yeah there's like no evidence on my cameras that an earthquake even occured lol. Even the animals were just chillin

Nothing here in Maine, but have had multiple friends that live in NY and NJ say they all felt it.
This happen back in Philadelphia when I still lived there between 2010/2012. It was weird and I remember calling my wife that worked in center city right away to make sure nothing happen in the four story building she worked in.

Hell we got had a 5.7 in the state I live in now as I was waking up and reading the news in bed, and I just shrugged it off until my wife yells “(my name) GET OUT HERE!!”
“What for?”
“Didn’t you feel that??!”
“Yeah it stopped.”
“What do we do??!”
“Nothing? Unless you smell gas”
“GO TURN IT OFF JUST IN CASE”
Sure we had a couple strong aftershocks but it’s not like the house was coming down. But now we have 72 hour grab bags for us, the kids and the animals…which really we should’ve had anyway I guess.

Yeah I didn't feel anything either. Kinda jealous reading about it, as I've never consciously experienced an earthquake, even when I lived on the west coast. Slept through several, but I want to experience it for some reason lol.Nothing here in Maine, but have had multiple friends that live in NY and NJ say they all felt it.

First time it was happening in August 2011 (narrowed down the month and year) I was just confused. It made enough of a shake to be noticeable but not worrisome.
I prefer Maine and it stable rocky ground.

I was at work in PA on my lunch break, and we were just looking at each other. I initially thought it was the construction right by us, until family members started texting. Only heard a mild rumble and the tables kinda vibrated.
I was on the beach at the Jersey Shore for the last one. That one was wild.
