- Keegs 3y agoMy building rattled for a good 15 seconds.
- evanelias 3y agoSame here in northern NJ just outside Manhattan. It was extremely noticeable, my cat also freaked out briefly.
- guluarte 3y ago4.7 is literally nothing

- moate 3y agoIt’s actually “moderate shaking and light damage expected”[1] but go off sis. (1)https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/us7000ma74/executive https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/us7000ma74...
- ziddoap 3y agoIt is very obviously not "literally nothing", given the amount of people chiming in that they felt it.
- chrinic74929 3y ago> 4.7 is literally nothing 4.7 quake at 1 km depth will shake more at the surface than a 6.0 at 30 km depth
- zzleeper 3y ago4.7 at 5km depth is still nothing for anyone not immediately above the epicenter.
- ancientworldnow 3y agoEast coast geology (older, harder rocks) causes earthquakes to feel about ten times stronger than a west coast earthquake. This is felt roughly the same as a 5.8 in California. That's enough to be notable, especially at a shallow depth.
- eatonphil 3y agoI'm in Forest Hills (fifth story) and at first I thought it was the usual extreme wind we get because the windows were shaking heavily. Then it got worse and I realized what it was when I felt it through the floor. I've felt at least one other in the last year or two here but my wife in the other room did not. This one was the strongest I've been through though.
