Glad it was only an earthquake.
Yikes!
These morons sure like letting their mouths write checks that their fannies can’t cash.
Bad news morons: there is Someone Who will cash those checks and they will NOT like the payout.

Somebody on patriots.win said it was Lizzo practicing her new DNC fundraiser dance routine.
I live in the Mohawk Valley, Central NY State. Our local news website said it was felt here. I didn’t feel it, nor did my son.
We've had those here a couple of times in Central NY State. Just a little movement, then looked at the lampshade across the room, and noticed it swaying. Didn't last long. Felt nothing here today.
LOL
I felt it in Baltimore. Took me a moment to realize it was an earthquake, but this is the third one I’ve felt over the last 22 years here. The whole house shook. The china in our china cabinet was shaking. My wife did not feel it but she was sewing at the time and was on the second floor. I immediately checked the USGS and it was already posted on their site.
"The Ramapo Fault zone is a system of faults between the northern Appalachian Mountains and Piedmont areas to the east.
Spanning more than 185 miles (298 km) in New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania, it is perhaps the best known fault zone in the Mid-Atlantic region, and some small earthquakes have been known to occur in its vicinity."

I scanned through this thread and didn’t see that anyone had noticed the anomalies in the USGS data/header for this EQ.
This info is in the midst of the article you linked:
“The epicenter of the quake was detected about 45 miles west of New York City, and 40 miles east of Allentown, Pennsylvania, in an area north of Whitehouse Station, New Jersey, according to the USGS.”
Here’s the USGS map with the EQ menu:
https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/map/
There’s the normal title format (as seen throughout the listings):
Mag., distance from location (nearest town, when applicable)
date, time
lat/lon
depth
Then there’s this one:
M 4.8 - 2024 Whitehouse Station, New Jersey Earthquake
Time
2024-04-05 10:23:20 (UTC-04:00)
Location
40.703°N 74.758°W
Depth
4.7 km
https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/us7000ma74/executive
What’s 2024 doing in there? Or the word Earthquake in the title (department of redundancy)
And the depth: 4.7 km
And there’s no distance given to Whitehouse Station, as if the EQ is centered on the place.
It’s not even the closest reference point. Whitehouse Station is ~ 6 mi south, whereas Califon is ~ 4 mi a little north of west..
Just thought I’d point this stuff out.
Interesting... because many of us didn't even notice the earthquake today, but we all remember feeling the one that happened in 2011.
