I was driving and my wife called me asking if I was ok. I couldn't feel it, and drove past lots of people walking their dogs, and didn't see any signs of anything unusual. Parked a couple minutes later, nothing online yet, but man was FaceBook going off! Surprised I couldn't feel it based on the reactions.

Yeah, I'm surprised anyone here who didn't. This was like "whoa shit" then everyone goes on their porch to see if neighbors felt it too.

Yep, about 10 miles west of Philly here. But it felt like a large truck was rolling by the house. There was more rumble when they repaved the street a couple years ago.
How do you all get your death notices since I left?

was on a call at the time -- dog went nuts right before it hit-- i though the UPS truck had hit the house next door - folks on the call CT, RI, Albany all felt it.
lots of excitement on many work teams' chats -- we've folks all over the country, the cali folks were non plussed (sacramento area had three in the last few days)

engineering buddies sent multiple post incident checklists-- good to have.

we live off main street,, near US1 and the interstate -- lots of high speed sirens after the fact -- local FB pages are going nutty.
walked the property and inspected all pipes and foundation and basement -- all looks good.

next.. aliens or some sort of post celestial event apocalyptic landscape.. oh and just saw the USGeo survey says area 50% likely to get another one in the next week (so coin flip)

90% of the kids outdoors at track practice didn’t feel a thing. Throwers in the weight room had a grand old time. I didn’t know about it until my wife texted me. Feel like I missed out.

Some sort of aftershock? We scooted to upstate NY but my wife’s family’s text group just blew up again.

We were on the road to UConn, but the wife’s text group went off. After shock clicked in at 4.0.

We Californians can’t drive in the rain or snow, but we scoff at your collective alarm over a minor shake.

Oh my god I’m in upstate/“downstate” NY too now!!!

(But I was still in NJ for the 4.0. Didn’t notice it as I was “pulling a Rass” but the kids did downstairs.)

And “Central Jersey”, of course, doesn’t exist.
