I felt it. My computer and chair started shaking and I thought maybe the idiot neighbors downstairs were doing something but then I looked around the room. That was scary and we live on the fourth floor.

I called my husband but he didnt feel anything in this job

Woodbridge, NJ here. I happen to doze watching TV and it didn't wake me unlike the one a few years back that woke me during the night. Is the air traffic down as I thought the news reported? I don't hear any planes going by.

I'm in North Bergen, we definitely felt it! At first I thought I was getting some weird vertigo but then I realized the water in my cup was shaking too so I got up and high tailed it out the building. First one out of the building from the top floor. We were all evacuated for 20 minutes and then allowed to go back inside.

I feld it in my office building in Lawrenceville.
USGS says it was a 5.9 magnitude.

if this is the amount of drama from women that follows a tiny little bit of shaking, i feel sorry for the men who live in places like california for having to deal with women during earthquakes that actually have signfiicance.

I felt it. I was sleeping in and it woke me up. I was like "what the hell??".

Saw that the house was still standing and went right back into snooze mode.

I wish I could have seen how our cats reacted

Edgewater NJ, didn't feel a thing, nor did a friend working in Fort Lee. But everyone else I know working in Manhattan, Brooklyn down to Bradley Beach and out to Hackettstown reported solid shakes. Oh well.
