I am in Boston and it sure rattled this old building. It was at 1:53 and went on for about 3 minutes.

Answer 2

I would have to say yes.

Although I've looked for the information via the National Earthquake Center and it only shows VA being hit by a 5.8 and does not list New Jersey as being within that distance. I beg to differ! I never felt anything like that. BTW I'm in Freehold

Answer 3

Yes, I felt it in Woodbridge NJ. Whole house rocked for at least 20-30 seconds. They report it was centered in Virginia. No cell service to my family in the DC area right now. Probably overwhelming the cell service. They report that they are evacuating the Pentagon and Capital right now.
