On April 5th, around 10:22 a.m., the East Coast from NYC to Boston felt the earth shake. Moments later an earthquake was confirmed.
Shortly after the quake occurred, people on the East Coast began to share their experiences on social media. As someone who lives on the coast in New Jersey, the shaking lasted for what felt to be at least two seconds.
While nothing fell from my shelves, I visibly saw and felt the shaking as it occurred. My dog reacted with a nervous bark and some stares. I immediately texted nearby family members to make sure they felt it too. Everyone did.

And as many people began to learn they did just experience an earthquake, some admitted they “genuinely thought I was losing it.”
