so I'm told now that we have Elijah Westbrook Elijah Westbrook hey look at this wow we are messing around so Elijah first off where were you and did you feel it I I sure did John good morning to you right now we are live in New Brunswick New Jersey uh we were sent out here on an unrelated story and as I walked inside uh one of the buildings and then got into my car uh the car started shaking it started R and at first I thought it was just the wind was blowing because it did feel a little windy o
ut here uh you know when you get those normally strong gusts of wind next thing I know I see emails and text messages coming in from some star folks saying did you feel that did you feel that and someone who actually did feel that is Jill here she's a student at Ruckers University Jill thank you so much for uh being live on the show right now to talk about this earthquake it was a 4.8 magnitude earthquake what did you experience moments ago so I was laying in my bed and my whole apartment buildi
ng just started shaking and I freaked out I was like what's happening I didn't I've never felt an earthquake before in my life so it was very scary the whole my whole bed shook everything shook wow wow and and and what would what were you thinking when that was going on I mean did you think earthquake at first no I thought I was in a dream honestly I didn't think it was real yeah it it it's definitely quite startling and like I said just moments ago I was sitting inside the news truck and the tr
uck started swaying I thought it was uh gusts of wind apparently uh I guess the and John correct me if I'm wrong here the the proper terminology uh for the magnitude I know it was a 4.8 and it was felt I believe in Lebanon New Jersey I guess that was the epicenter uh essentially again correct me if I'm wrong on the terminology okay so 4.8 Leon New Jersey Le now the next thing we're going to to worry about is how deep was it and we talk about primary waves secondary waves but uh so Elijah everybo
dy's talking about it right Everywhere You Go I mean people it's everyone is talking about it including Jill yeah yeah it's very you know startling um so what what are your friends saying what are other people saying about what they experienced um my whole family group chat actually was blowing up my phone saying what was that was that an earthquake then my friend from Delaware texted me and said that she felt it too everyone was feeling it yeah and everyone was like what was that yeah so it's n
ot just here in New Jersey of course portions of New York uh St New York City we're also getting reports people in Pennsylvania and I believe Massachusetts possibly may have felt that so we're looking at at least the Northeast Corridor if you will here uh Jill thank you so much if we can just have you on standby uh just in this area until uh we get back to you but John and everyone else watching at home right now yeah certainly some startling moments out here in New Brunswick New Jersey again we
were out here covering an unrelated story uh I walked inside of a building came back out got in the car to write my script for uh a story airing at noon next thing I know the car started shaking I'm seeing some of the parked cars ahead of me uh Swang back and forth I thought it was just gusts of wind uh passing through so certainly some startling moments in this area and something that we normally don't experience especially here on the East Coast I'm going of course try to the car was actually
shaking Shing it it was it was I mean nothing too aggressively but enough to get your attention if if that makes sense and then as I looked out the window I saw a couple of cars that were parked on the same side of the street moving just a bit so I knew something had to be going on next thing I know I see text messages rolling in emails people asking did you feel that so very very startling well Elijah thank you I'm going to be joined by with Mary kelvi here thank you for all your hard work and
