We certainly felt it here! I’m in Queens NY and it felt like the house shaking. I realized right away it was an earthquake. I was texting with my friend in NJ and they felt it more from what I gather.

CA native and geology geek here. I LOVE earthquakes (not so much the damage caused). I moved from the Bay Area to Calaveras County and miss them so much!

I was texting with my friend in NJ and they felt it more from what I gather. It was out in area Rt 22/I78 in WhiteHouse Station NJ. which is a very rural area of NJ. UMMM.. oh if anyone has been to the New Jersey Festival of Ballooning, right out there. |

Ugh. I totally missed it. lol We are on Long Island it it was felt big time here but we were driving upstate to watch my daughter's bf graduate from the police academy and nobody knew until our phones started going off while we were waiting for the ceremony to start. Then driving home circa 6pm, we had aftershocks that we once again missed because we were in the car. My daughter said all of our glasses in the cabinets were rattling.

Centered in the Tri-State area--magnitude 4.8 in NJ. I'm such a dope, I thought it was Orla playing really roughly on the front porch  . Felt also in RI It was felt in MA too. I didn't feel it but it seems like everyone else did.  |

They have said there have been over 30 aftershocks. Guess I've missed most of them. That's good I think!!

Earthquakes are not something that I am going to miss about California. I was always worried that the pool would break. The water would be tossed back and forth and be thrown out of the pool in big waves to flood the surrounding landscape. I would be watching for cracks for days afterward.
I remember one quake where my dog was in the backyard. As soon as the major jolts stopped, I ran downstairs to bring him in. He must have been next to the pool when a wave came out because he was soaked and shaking with fear. I don’t think he was knocked into the pool because it would have taken him a bit of time to get out. He knew where the stairs were and how to get himself out, but there wasn’t enough time so I think he must have been running toward the patio door and was blasted by a wave. Poor pup. He didn’t want to stay in the yard for quite a while after that.

I'm a few days late, but to the OP, I didn't realize what was happening at first, either, and that was compounded by the fact that my eldest was home that day, and he & I were in different rooms and both experiencing it differently.
I was sitting on a stability ball at the moment. So I didn't register movement of the floor or myself. But I was in a corner of the house with 5 windows and all of them began to rattle, and I couldn't find a cause for it. (Normally larger trucks, planes, helicopters are the reasons.) Plus the rattling lasted longer than ever before. Then while I was pondering that, things started clinking in a curio cabinet in the next room, and that was when the idea of it being an earthquake finally hit me.
My son had earbuds in, so he wasn't hearing any rattling & clinking, but he felt rumbling and said it felt like he imagined it would feel to be hit by sound waves or shock waves if there had been a sonic boom.
That was the first time either of us ever experienced an earthquake as well, although it was not the first time our area felt a bit of one before. We personally just didn't feel or notice them previous times.
