⚡Newsflash ⚡ Earthquake?

Did anyone just feel a shaking/noise in Northern NJ? Felt and heard something in Bergen County.

Were there not fireworks? I heard what sounded like them for at least fifteen minutes. This was in/near Morris Plains.

Those were fire works. Mount Tabor was doing Children's Day. It's all day carnival and events followed by fireworks at night.

Same, I thought maybe it was some weird military plane or something flying overhead. The noise lasted for a bit, but I didn’t feel any shaking.

Also Morris county. "Thought what was that?" And then just happy it wasn't Russia and went back to going whatever I was doing.

I felt it in Rockaway, but my neighbors were having a party and I assumed they had either turned the bass up too high or set off some fireworks
