4.8 magnitude earthqkuake hits NJ area.
I was in my kitchen about 40 minutes ago when the whole house shook, and their was a loud rumbling that lasted for about 10 seconds or so.
I thought it might be an earthquake, since we have had them in the past, although years can go by between them.
This one was different in that it shook more, and the rumble was something I've never experienced. I live in New York State, about 150 miles from the epicenter, so you can get an idea of the strength of this event.
