Newark, DE / Very weak shaking (MMI II) / single lateral shake / very short : It did not feel like a quake. It was a single boom that shook the house, not so much of the rumble of an earthquake. I've been in a couple of earthquakes and it was a different sensation. | 18 users found this interesting.
- I work from 7pm to 6am and I was in bed when my entire house shook from the ground up… I got up to check if a car struck my front porch or house and Thank God that was not the case. Along with the shaking was a weird noise that I can’t really explain.
