I spoke with my wife April who confirmed the earthquake was definitely felt in Ocean County in the Tuckerton/Little Egg Harbor area as our house shook and some plates and decorations actually fell. Nothing serious as far as damage but a good shake non-the-less.

Not something we are used to here in Ocean County, but wow that's a little shake measuring 2.4 on the richer scale. It appears that several towns in Southern Ocean County did feel this minor earthquake. It wasn’t a huge quake, but remember for many of us we have never felt any quake big or small…..so today was a story, earthquake in New Jersey. We probably have many small tremors but today we actually felt the incident and saw things actually move….even if just a plate or cup. Guess we are very lucky we don’t live in places like California.
