I felt it too. It rattled my windows and doors, but not as strong as 2011 quake. In 2011 I ran outside and looked around for the jet aircraft that I thought may have crashed.

Possible sonic boom.

Maybe the rumbling was Mrs. Leed's naughty child. I do find it odd that the above article made no mention of the NJANG's F-16s, out of the Atlantic City Airport, which can certainly break the sound barrier. Come to think of it, they even feature that little devil on their tail.

"NoreasterNick" agrees with G, jet out of 177th

Interesting, I remember two small quakes over last 20 years and this is what it felt like. I talked to a few other people who felt it in medford and mt laurel.

The one in August 2011 was amazing, I actually saw the shockwave pass from one end of the house to the other. Have never experienced anything like that before: https://forums.njpinebarrens.com/threads/earthquake.7512/

I think I was out in the car yesterday when you posted about this one, and didn't notice anything there.

Well, My house just shook!

Magnitude 5.1 quake confirmed, 10KM east of Dover DE, per above usgs.gov page. Thats... not that close...

Wow, I noticed that too. But I had some music playing on the stereo so I wasn't quite sure what it was.

We felt it at our house too.

My niece lives in Dover.Knocked pictures off her wall.

USGS now says it was magnitude 4.1, not 5.1. For the record. https://www.usgs.gov/news/magnitude-41-earthquake-near-dover-delaware

...which was the very initial report anyway.

 

[enormiss]

I think it was immediately recorded as 4.4 and am assuming a typo when they went to change it to 4.1 shortly thereafter.
The site only showed 5.1 for a brief period...
