I was standing up, 2nd floor of my office here in Long Valley and we most definitely felt it. Pretty much evacuated the building the moment it was over. Of course my friend in California is making fun of us. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember the 2011 one. I was working in New Providence at the time, was sitting at my desk and suddenly it felt like I was on a wave. I actually started to think I was being hit with some weird vertigo attack. 5 seconds later my middle daughter texts me from VA, visiting my in-laws, with "Earthquake!" 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other 2 earthquakes in my lifetime (NYC) were nothing like this one. Those were very weak. Felt one in Greece as well, but didn't last long. Definitely memorable and a bit scary. Definitely a lot scarier and longer lasting than the one in August 2011. In what year was the first one you felt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winterwx21 Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 48 degrees here as our below average early April continues. Looking forward getting back to above normal temps on Monday (probably mid 60s), and then mid 70s on Tuesday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes they go by so quickly and you don't realize it's an earthquake until after it's over. This was not one of those. It lasted long enough so that you knew it was an earthquake while it was happening, sort of like a slow motion train wreck, plus I noticed the shaking moving from one side of my house to the other and it was a violent kind of shaking, like some giant was holding my house in his hands and shaking it vigorously from the outside. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Jims Videos Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 I was in the middle of a serious interview on zoom from my office in Wall when it hit. It took a few seconds to register what was happening. Very loud in person although the laptop recording didn't pick up the noise that much. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a good analogy, 2011 did feel like vertigo where today just felt like a vibration and shaking. I'm in the same building that I was in 2011 but was on the third floor then, first floor now. I'm not sure how much of a factor that is but to me 2011 was worse so its interesting to read everyone's different take here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, it was completely different down here, this one felt MUCH more violent and lasted MUCH longer, I was never scared in 2011, while with this one I felt like the walls were about to collapse and different parts of the house were shaking differently and it came in multiple waves. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm 10 miles NW of Lebanon, NJ, so obviously this was far worse than 2011. It felt like someone hit the building at first, but then the rattling and rumbling continued and about 1/2 way thru it everyone stood up in horror. I was just standing there, looking outside seeing if any trees were moving (not sure why, but it was the first thing I did) and then we thought maybe something happened on the first floor with the welding shop. Then we all went outside and froze our butts off for 15 mins. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donsutherland1 Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 For those tracking historic earthquakes in the NYC area: So far, there have been six minor aftershocks. Four were magnitude 2.0 or above. The strongest was magnitude 2.2. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
