Nothing felt here in Vermont, but a friend back in central Connecticut says she felt it. No damage, just a jiggle.

I definitely felt it here in central NJ, about 15 miles away from its epicenter in Lebanon, NJ. But no damage.

As I'm currently staying at a hotel near Parsippany-Troy Hills' suburbs with my family, I heard lots of buzz about the earthquake. One lady on the third floor said her TV fell. Nothing was damaged for me.
