Well, that was an interesting start to this Sunday morning. At 910am, it felt like a giant truck was slowly rumbling by this house in Connecticut. Actually, a 4.2 #earthquake off of Cape Cod according to USGS. Keep coming at us 2020. We will not break!

I felt it, North Shore Long Island. The house vibrated. Not crazy but definitely something I've never felt before. #earthquake

Serious question: Did anyone near eastern Long Island or CT feel their house shake? It was brief but we're thinking a quake near here or maybe Long Island Sound.#earthquake #LongIsland
