New Jersey residents were woken up by an earthquake at 2 a.m. on Wednesday morning, with shaking felt miles from the epicenter.
An earthquake hit New Jersey in the early hours of Wednesday morning and was felt as far away as New York City. The minor earthquake had a magnitude of 3.1 and struck around 20 miles southeast of Edison, New Jersey, at 2 a.m. ET.
A map from LastQuake shows that despite being fairly minor, the effects of the earthquake were felt miles from the epicenter. According to USGS, people as far away as New York City, Philadelphia and Stamford felt the New Jersey earthquake. People reported feeling light to moderate shaking with none or very light damage.
LastQuake reported that someone in Matawan, 10 miles from the epicenter, described the earthquake as sounding"like a dumptruck being dropped from a few stories up, but about 4-5 blocks away. It rumbled the floor for about 5 seconds," while someone a mile from the epicenter said that they heard"a large boom followed by rolling."
