Social media lit up on Thursday afternoon, with thousands of people reporting the ground shaking in parts of New Jersey.
Hundreds of people in Lakewood felt the tremor as well.
The USGS reported that there was a “sonic boom” in the area of Hammonton, New Jersey.
NYC Office of Emergency Management issued the following statement:
New York City is aware of unconfirmed reports of an earthquake in the New York City / New Jersey area. The New York City Emergency Management has consulted the US Geological Survey and the Earth Observatory at Columbia University. Neither has identified any seismic activity at this time. New York City Emergency Management will continue to monitor the condition and issue updates as necessary.

Nah…Just the repercussions of S.Y.Rechnitz speech. ..:)
Is Lakewood not part of New Jersey anymore?
Previously reported “earthquake activity” in NYC/NJ area confirmed to be a sonic boom from aircraft by US Geological Survey. NOT an earthquake.
It has been reported that Gov. Christie was jumping rope in an effort to shape up for his Presidential bid…..lol
