EARTHQUAKE IN MORRIS COUNTY?
- Thread starter RCTrooper
- Start date
I felt something in Morristown. Was listening to radio on headphones so wasn't sure if it was thunder or a possible explosion, but could have been an earthquake.
I slept through it here in Rockaway Township, but confirmed earthquake at earthquake.usgs.gov

2.7? I'm surprised you could feel it. We went through a 7.2 in the Philippines, with aftershocks above 5.0 right until we left for Hong Kong about two weeks later.
I remember a small eath quake in Central Jersey in the early 80's. What sounded like a giant snow plow dragging on pavement woke me, I couldn't figure what it was, then it just stopped.............silence................, except for my car keys jingling on a key holder.
Who remembers when the Hercules plant in mount Arlington blew up? Knocked books off the shelves at my house 15 miles away
