I was on a MS Teams video call with a colleague from work. I’m in NY, he’s in PA and we both felt it. He felt the shaking in PA about 5 seconds before I did in NY due to distance. It was a baby quake though, almost like when a helicopter flies low overhead but still an unnerving 10 seconds…
Statue of Liberty ???? was twerking do to seismic activity …
Felt it here in Western Massachusetts. We live in the Berkshire Mountains and the whole house shook and my girl and I looked at each other and she said what was that? I said earthquake! All I could think of was “ I wish this house was built like the ones in the Dominican Republic!
