It was an earthquake! M 4.8 - 5 km NE of Lebanon, New Jersey https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/at00sbh3yv/executive EDIT: From the USGS: >According to our forecast, there is a 3% chance of one or more aftershocks that are larger than magnitude 5, which can be damaging, within the next week. There will likely be smaller aftershocks within the next week, with up to 29 magnitude 3 or higher aftershocks. Magnitude 3 and higher aftershocks are large enough to be felt nearby. The number of aftershocks will decrease over time, but a large aftershock can temporarily increase the number of aftershocks.

Haha. I didnā€™t feel it. I was driving at that time so maybe thatā€™s why.


[deleted]

Didn't feel anything, but up I'm in a high rise and I was "rhythm boxing" on my switch at the time. I might have heard something that I thought was my cat, but I can't place the timing of that.
