This is the 2nd earthquake I have felt. Felt one up in Massachusetts in 2002. I believe that one was in Canada. Woke me up, but was only like 10 seconds. This one was a good 30 seconds.

Wife in Midtown felt it. They all evacuated.

The amazing thing is we can have an earthquake and hurricane in the nyc metro area in the same week. Wow!!!

Cell phone is down, damn. Felt it while in bathroom and thought the toilet was shaking

[tmagan]

None of the local stations have broken in.

[BlueSkiesFading]

Felt it pretty good in Ramsey, NJ just off Rt. 17. Lasted a good 20-30 seconds.

My dog is looking around like what the hell.

[tmagan]

Maybe its me, but I thought we just had a small tremor a moment ago.

[NortheastPAWx]

It was M5.9, not 6.2

[Stormlover74]

Apparently there was another one on the PA/NJ border

[TheTrials]

It was M5.9, not 6.2

Is that final? i will adjust.

[doncat]

Didn't feel it in SI... wondering why? Darn it. lol

Felt it here. Was lying in bed and bed started rocking.

[SnoSki14]

Everyone around me felt it, I didn't even feel it, that's odd.

[donsutherland1]

FWIW, the preliminary reading of 5.9 ties the record for the largest earthquake in Virginia.

Basically a Mag 6, my whole house was shaking, first time I've ever felt an earthquake!

[TheTrials]

Come on, lets get some aftershocks, or even better, the main event. Can we pop a 7.0 or greater?

[psv88]
