4.8 in NJ. Epicenter's area was about 1 hours 15 minutes northwest-ish from me.
I didn't even know until my wife texted me from her workplace.
I am home and she is at work. She is working to my north so she felt it.
No damage or problem. She described what she felt...her words on the text: "Yes, it was a big bump"

We felt it here in beautiful Chester County
Family in Northern NJ advised that they felt. It. Felt like house shaking for a few seconds. 911 maxed out with callers calling in after earthquake.

Not much of anything up here in the hills. Felt like a fast truck went down the street. Friends south where it's flatter said they felt it more than I did

From what I just heard on the news, the earthquake effects were in random areas here in MA (none where I am), and also up in (some) areas of NH, VT, and Maine.

When you're the leader, you don't have to follow.
Anyone planning on viewing the eclipse on Monday?
Where I live is in the path of totality. Not for long though - less than half the time of Niagara Falls.
Almost a million people are expected to descend upon Niagara Falls. That’s a big no thank you!
I expect the path here will be somewhat similar, albeit with a shorter period of complete coverage.
Spenser, Daisy, and I will be remaining inside for the whole of it. The fear of blindness they pounded into us in 1979 stuck; and there is zero chance I will trust my vision to flimsy, mass produced, cheaply made “protective lenses”.
I’ll watch it on tv, thanks. Over-reactive? Probably.

1 It's going to be cloudy here
2 It's going to be nippy here
3 The cheap glasses thing
I have notifications to watch from the safety of my warm house
Safety of my house unless it starts shaking lol
Still a bit sad we sort of heard it and didn't really feel it
I'm up in the air. It depends what the rest of our staff is doing. We have a professional development day without kids on Monday. Part of the eclipse is during meetings, but part is during work time. I did buy the glasses, just in case.
I should also add, I'm not in the path of totality. We're supposed to be at about 87%

I have glasses but we aren’t really in the path. And it is supposed to be raining and cloudy
We’re in the path of totality, but a million people are expected to pour into town, so barring a substation emergency, I’m planning to work from home. They passed out the glasses at work, but I don’t know if I’ll bother to go outside or not….
I've read that some are flying or driving to Buffalo for prime viewing of the eclipse. The hotels and restaurants will surely get a boost in revenues.

I guess that is good for Buffalo. I don't live anywhere near there though.

In a way I'm not too sad that it will be cloudy and rainy, then I don't have to worry about taking my students out to see it. I don't have to worry that they will all wear their glasses or be weirdos and take them off to look at the sun. If this was happening on a weekend or during the summer I would be totally bummed that it was going to be cloudy.

I do. But just as I have no intention of driving an hour to the Falls to join the crush of humanity, I have even less desire to cross the bridge into Buffalo … although I am actually long overdue for a trip to Wegman’s.

The stores in my area ran out of those funky eyeglasses, last week. I'll probably do what you're doing -- watching the afternoon eclipse TV specials (a ton of TV stations are doing this).
