This was something very interesting. As this happened, I was sitting on my couch and I thought a large vehicle was passing by my house, but then I realized a couple seconds later, it was an earthquake. What a historical moment for NY & NJ.
Probably not a once in a lifetime experience
This has happened in this region before, it will happen again. Last significant one was 2011. Its not once in a lifetime.
@@ChattieCathie For me, yes.
Unaware that there was an quake in 2011
@@gv_carsssssss you don't know that though
Felt the tremors here in Central Connecticut. Nothing major, but it really makes you feel like you are not in control. Which of course you are not.
This was the first time I have experienced anything like that, I felt exactly the same way. My whole apartment building was moving and I almost thought it was vertigo. I thought something was wrong with the building, grabbed my emergency bag and ran out. That was about the limit of my control.

@howardroark3947: I agree, Howard. I’m in NYC and my apartment really shook for a few seconds. It was very unnerving. When I had the time to review the situation, it was the “not in control” feeling that I didn’t like either.
“Shook me alllllll night long .,,,yeah yeah you shook me all night long “
Statue of Liberty was struck by lightning a couple days ago too.
Ominous!

Is that uncommon?
Because I feel like it would happen alot because it's a high up pointy thing, with metal in it
@@TaccRaccoon uncommon enough for someone to comment on it here. "several times per year" according to Google
It happens all the time
Not to make light of the earthquake, but Lady Liberty was shaking in her sandals. Glad to hear no major damage so far.
But with those vibrations, she had a smile on her face, if you know what I mean.
@@seeharvester She was using a vibrator

It used to mean something.
Now it's a joke with the flood of illegals over the southern border.
Living in Jersey City and I felt that shit, honestly thought it was some big ass truck driving or a construction explosion happened but never would have thought a earthquake. So rare to experience that in my life
Same here in Morris County. At first I thought is was the garbage truck but then it got too intense. I always see animals in my backyard and they were all gone.
Working in a warehouse I also thought it was a huge truck. Til I realize its shaking way too much for that. I just felt a little shaking a few minutes ago thinking it was a truck and now I'm wondering if its after shock.
Same thing I thought in JC
Same thing for me
I live in Passaic County and still felt it
The racks in our warehouse were swaying, and those racks had over 10,000 pounds on it. Seeing those racks sway back and forth was crazy
As a Californian it's interesting to read the reactions from you people experiencing it for the first time.
Ironically, I lived in the Bay Area for a few years and experienced some earthquakes, but the ones I experienced in NY were stronger. Go figure.
Wow amazing!!!!!!!!
What is the magnitude of earth quakes that California regularly experiences?
I’m n Arizona. You know us west coast people feel this more than east coast. It’s still weird and scary.
I’m from New York and as a New Yorker I’ve never experienced an earthquake until now and thinking about how places like California, turkey, Japan and more will say that a 4.8 isn’t crazy.
The way the camera was shaking at 1:01 , that’s what I slightly felt in Plattsburgh, New York..which is over 300 miles north of NYC.
About 2 hours later, I think I felt an aftershock. Two loud explosion-like bangs and a little shake.
Crazy stuff!!!
Wow! Well this isn't your first earthquake then. I was in Saranac Lake for the 2004 one.
Two bangs? As someone from California who lives near a major fault line, I'm curious why you would hear a bang unless something fell.
They are building d.u.m.b.s
Actually, there was an aftershock some time in the early evening registering a 4.0. But you may already know that by now.
I was in nyc and i barely felt the first one and i didnt even notice the aftershock
I was working from home, Bronx, University Heights, when around 10:20am my computer got disconnected then seconds after alot of shaking. I could feel the vibration of the walls, like a rumbling sound. I live on the last floor and the ceiling felt like there was alot of people on the roof running and stomping, leaving like echo in my ears, I didnt know what it could be, I honestly thought the bldg was collapsing. I couldnt contact anybody, no texts, or even calls were going through. It was ver scary.
And that was only a 4.8
@@agreetodisagree4751I never experienced an earthquake but that earthquake yesterday did not feel like 4.8.
That was Rare! Lucky there are No any Damage!
You are so dramatic, come to Mexico to experience the real ones. 😂

@@seeharvester Who lives in Alaska lol
Here in NJ this is the biggest earthquake we’ve had since the 1700’s. My little cousins were freaking out lol.
That's not true, a bigger one hit jersey 7 years ago
And 1938 the same size started in New Jersey
And I remember one like 20 years ago that felt the same but might not have been the same number wise
just wait. the sun is going to continue to do some things to the planet that are going to blow your mind. buckle up. #SO no fear
Oh shit your mom hasnt visited you since 1700 ? Enjoy your catchup in 2024 .
@@TMeek94 Ah, I know of that one but this is what I heard from my teachers so that’s why I commented this😂
I'm in Atlantic County, NJ. I remember the last one, which was centered in Virginia. I was at a friend's house about 45 minutes NW of here. I heard a rumble and then her chandelier started swaying. With this one I didn't hear any kind of rumble or anything, but the house shook for just a few seconds. At the same time I heard the mirror that's attached to my dresser shaking, and saw my desk lamp shaking. That's it. They say there was an aftershock, but I didn't feel it.
I felt that in Ewing NJ while sitting in the cafeteria at my workplace. I immediately got up and started looking at the ceiling it was super weird feeling and I felt like the earthquake vibrations went through the building and through my body.
Enormous power .
Do you work at DOT?
@@kinkisharyocoasters no I don't
4.8 is a big deal on the east coast because it DOES have the potential to cause damage, theres nowhere for the quake to scatter like west coast...making it feel worse. Many of the building codes are Not enforced for quakes, plus tons of old buildings here. Anything near 5 is getting sketchy, since we dont get them, there was fear it could Keep growing.
Largest one in the area in 250 years. And because of the 'old rock' it goes through, it's felt for hundreds of miles, felt by many millions of people. An earthquake of the same magnitude in CA would only be felt within 15 miles of epicenter.
I love fact filled comments. Keep it going.

We are all in this together, it woke me up out of my sleep here in NYC.
I was sitting in my car and I thought somebody had started jumping up and down on my back bumper, but nobody was there! :)
Did you have on your glasses 😂😅😊❤?
The noise was so loud I thought a truck hit the house but it kept shaking. Later had an aftershock, my closet door was rattling, a bottle of vitamins fell off the shelf and a grocery bag toppled. It was scary, realizing there's something that strong you can't control. I've experienced smaller quakes in California and before in NJ. This one was the strongest. Kind of like the tremor after a house exploded in a neighboring town.
I'm in Westchester and I thought a cat jumped in my bed even though I don't have one. I was looking everywhere like where is he?!!! 😍😍😍

That looks like some strong shaking.
i think the camera shook more than the earth. i felt it but didnt see anything in my apartment shake or fall.
it was a shallow quake so felt strong
Oh yes it was!!!!!
I live up by Albany, Ny on the 3rd floor of an old house and it was shaking for about 10-20 sec. I also live near a river, so I wonder if it’s some kind of fault line that made it shake more, or if it was just felt everywhere in the northeast
it just happened again 5 min ago is it aftershock?
A sunday afternoon in Cali but for NYC this is very unexpected.
I felt the earthquake in Metuchen, NJ. I believe the epicenter was 30 miles northwest in nearby Lebanon in Hunterdon County.
I was at home, and my entire house started shaking.
Time to move, brother.

the jews are sacrificing a red heifer on the 8th , the last time they sacrificed a red heifer was shortly before the resurrection of Christ
@@RedVandal626 Red heifers were always sacrificed for cleansing if a person had been around a dead body in order for a person to be cleansed to enter into Passover. This is not an unusual practice in scripture. It literally happened before every single Passover. Please read the Bible. It sounds like you are picking up false doctrines from false teachers. You did not get that statement from the actual Bible.
As someone else said, 4.8, the date of eclipse and devil comet, what a coincidence or a sign of worse to come?
@@RedVandal626no, it will be on their Passover May 19th if that’s what is going to happen.
I was in bed using my laptop when I felt the bed shaking, there was construction or something going in on in the apartment above me that morning. I was worried the ceiling was gonna fall on me 😭
Didn’t know New York had earthquakes! Gonna go conspiracy theory, but don’t you think it’s strange that Taiwan had an earthquake now New York!
The tectonic plates are all connected so if one shifts causing an earthquake another will shift in a different area. There are several fault lines in the tri- state area.
Watch Dutchsinse. He will teach you how to forecast earthquakes. He forecasted this one two days ago. Those who watch him knew it was coming.

Heyyy EarthCam, .. Your video made it onto the news.

I most certainly did for a moment😅
I thought a truck hit the house. Only thing similar was the vibration after a house exploded in a neighboring town.
@@dorothyhodges2542 for a sec I thought my mom got me a private Air show
You see no one running below!
Yesh, this definitely caught me off guard. I thought it was a truck going by at first. But then the rattling got heavier and lasted for about thirty seconds. Pretty decent size for this area. I live in Camden Co. NJ by the way.
Don't have Times Square images?
I was in school thank u lord I didn’t die.
We had a 4.xx here in Southern Sweden back in 2008 I believe, in the middle of the night. Woke a lot of people up (including my dad, and we're over 100 km away), and some buildings closer to the epicenter got damaged enough to require repairs. Here, that's a major earthquake. In California or Japan or Indonesia, they probably call it a "Tuesday" (or whatever it was).
I like how the statue of liberty has a selfie cam
She got struck by lightning April 3. Lady Liberty trying to hang tough.
Stay safe out there 🫡🇺🇲 from Western Kentucky 🤘
I didn’t really feel the 2012 one but I’m laying in bed in a hospital and felt and watched the curtains sway and my tray table bounce. Yeah. It’s kind of jarring if you’re not used to that feeling.

Nope. New York would not withstand a major quake. Californias structures are better prepared.

6" of rain, 60mph winds, earthquake, the comet visible passing by, and the eclipse coming Monday. All this here in the NYC area in the last 2 weeks.🫣
And Lady Liberty struck by lightning
I thought I was going insane, at first I heard it and didn't think anything of it until I started to feel the house shake,, the TV started shaking a bit and then I went to check out the window to see if anything else was shaking. I called my dad to see if he was feeling it too but he was on the subway, so he couldn't tell. I was kind of scared after that though because I never thought I would experience something like this.
Lady Liberty: lightning strike the other day... now rattling. What's next?
Solar eclipse for New York State and 10 other states. Armageddon not long after?
Rain
I know! Scary😢
I have never been in an earthquake before. I just noticed our building was shaking and thought maybe there was something wrong with the building. It took about a second or two and I had my emergency bag and cell phone and ran down the stairs. I got out just about when it was ending. I didn’t know for about a minute what happened until my gf texted me. It wasn’ that bad but I am still kind of surprised my neighbors all sat around waiting and wondering what it was instead of getting to a safe place.
Running outside is not necessarily the safe thing to do during an earthquake. Doorways or underneath stable furniture is often recommended.
@@user-xm1et7cz2o To be honest, at first I thought I was having a stroke. I’d never been in an earthquake. I didn’t know it was an earthquake, I thought something was happening to the building. My GF informed me later I made the wrong moves. Historically doing and not thinking (or at least not taking much time to think) has kept me alive. It was incredibly awkward when I opened the apartment front door and met a UPS delivery man casually entering as if he hadn’t noticed.
@@madmouthmarv5098 I hope I didn't come across as criticizing what you did. Only informing you for possible future experiences. The first time/s I experienced earthquakes in Chile I was terrified. If I hadn't been told not to go out on street (Valparaíso has tons of electric lines running all over between the buildings, and plenty that could fall from facades) I possibly would have. That's what I've found most unnerving about earthquakes, there's nowhere to run.
@@madmouthmarv5098 The UPS delivery scene made me laugh, while really understanding your uncomfortability.
I was in school when this happened the teacher suddenly said to shush and we listened as some of my classmates literally for some reason thought that the roof was gonna fall on us.Then the principle had as mal speech on the speakers to tell us that it was gonna be fine and it was just a small earthquake. Our whole class literally had a talk about it afterwards.
It was really unexpected.

Really? 🤔
We just had a 2.7 here in NH last week.
Well that was scary. 😮😮😮
I’m on the UWS and neither I nor my son - nor anyone I talked to, felt or knew anything about it, until we saw the breaking news on the Weather Channel. We were like, “What the?”. I don’t know whether to be glad or disappointed.
I was in art class in 8th grade when it happened. Whole room was frozen, our outdoor activities were cancelled
Must be nice living there, if a mere 4.8 magnitude is a rare event and most people never ever felt an earthquake. That shit is common here.
Should we all feel ashamed of ourselves now?
If you're from California, we react to earthquakes like you react to rain.
@@liamsandal6360 You should feel glad, earthquakes suck
Where is here?
@@liamsandal6360Yeah LOL should we feel sorry our buildings didn't collapse. New York buildings are not ready for heavier quakes and the city has a major fault running underneath.
Yup. I tell my relatives to stay prayed up. Im bedridden. Told my husband if stronger quake hits and house is going take our dog and he and his brother evacuate and leave me here. Im in terrible pain now anyway.

philly felt it too
Was caused by the tunnel boring machine way down below but thats restricted info opps
😮
I guess Taiwan has a boring machine too? Not to mention Manhattan is an island WTF tunnel are you going to bore under the island. Sheesh
I woke up 5 minutes before and was just laying in bed. I felt a rumble and my walls started swaying left and right, my first thought was "Wtf is my roommate doing?" Needless to say, first earthquake in my 25 years. Can't imagine how they are in Cali!
That was a scary experience. It was going on for what felt like a full minute. All the time, I was just hoping it wouldn't turn into the ones that hit Haiti, Japan, Nepal, or Taiwan. That's the most scary part, I think, the dread. As soon as that thing was over, I ran out of the building. That was the fastest I ever ran.
Edit: Just as I'm writing this, another small one just happened. Damn, there's no sleeping tonight.
Please see if there was anything caught on video on the Jersey shore cams
ok
My bed started shaking I immediately Got up and Started praying,lord forgive me Im a sinner
I thought a train had derailed under my building. Crazy! 😅
so, was it the statue or the camera that was shaking?
I was at the gym I thought some dude fell off the treadmill up stairs
Is this on Ellis’s island ??
I live in NJ, but I am in Jersey in the UK so I didn’t get to experience this.😢

Likely not since the shaking isnt strong enough to affect the water. Also the shaking has to overpower the movement of the ferry as well.

Just as the quake started, a bus passed by my house and I thought that's strange, busses pass all day, and the house doesn't shake. Then I heard dishes and knock knacks rattle, and the floor was shaking like a flag in the wind. I knew immediately it was an earthquake, and about six or seven seconds later it was over. I had the radio on at the time. No reports of an earthquake. So I got a little concerned and thought maybe it was just my house, unstable and about to collapse. Took fourteen minutes before the temblor was reported. Well, I felt, at least it wasn't my house.
