Did you feel the earth move last night?
A reader emailed Patch this morning to report what he said felt like an earthquake around 1 a.m. in Barnegat, adding that others in Barnegat and Brick said they felt the same thing.
So was it an earthquake? Maybe, according the U.S. Geological Survey.
The U.S.G.S. Earthquake Hazards Program website shows 3.2 quake occurred at 6:39 p.m. yesterday in Louisa County, Va. – not far from the epicenter of the Aug. 23, 2011 earthquake felt all over the eastern U.S.

Hmm, I didn't notice anything yesterday or last night. The August quake would have been hard not to notice, my whole house was swaying. :cool:
