Did anyone feel it?

I am in the metro west area and I felt it. Imho it was strong.

My cat's head went up, it sounded like an 18 wheeler was trying not to hit my house, my house started cracking as if there was a big wind gust but I could see the trees were not moving outside.

GeoffD, let us know how you’re doing. I know this is close to you.

I’m at my mother’s in Freetown this morning and felt it pretty clearly.

It was even felt here in central CT. People said dishes rattled on the shelves. My dog barked for no reason at all but maybe that was the reason.

I was in the car driving back from an errand. I didn’t feel a thing. My fiancée said it didn’t last long. I felt one when I was a kid. It rattled the windows. I thought a truck was going by.


We took the boat out to the epicenter maybe a mile and a half east of Dumpling Rocks looking for Godzilla. Nope. Lots of migrating buffleheads, though.

We're close to MetroWest and neither my husband or I felt anything. I was almost disappointed when I heard about it.
