Brian

on W. N. right, who felt it?

Did anything happen where you are?

What we have right now is just this.

This is from CBS News a 4.8 earthquake that's a preliminary number but that's

high for this area 4.8 on the Richter scale earthquake rattled New York City in the surrounding area.

This says the quake was centered near Lebanon, New Jersey, so that's about 40 miles west of the city. So wherever you are, help us report this story. What did you feel? And is there any damage or anything else? Let's see, we're going to start with Jim in Jefferson, New Jersey.

Jim you're on WNYC, hello.

Good morning Brian. It's a pleasure to be on. It's exciting.

What happened where you are? First of all, where's Jefferson in relation to, let's say New York City or Newark?

So people know where you are and then tell us what you felt.

We are in northern Morris County.

I'm about just under an hour outside of New York City.

We're more or less straight out Route, Route 80, and a little north on Route 15.

Okay. But in 2004, I experienced the earthquake when I was in Dover and this one was much louder, much more shaking and much longer.

It lasted in our area probably 15 to 20 seconds and the other one was five or 10

so it was quite a bit longer it left my wife feeling disoriented and lightheaded

and my offices in River feeling disoriented and lightheaded.

And my office is in Riverdale, New Jersey,

which is about 20 miles away,

and they felt it as well.

And I just heard that it centered in Lebanon.
