The U.S. Geological Survey is reporting a magnitude 4.8 earthquake happened at 10:23 a.m. Friday, one mile from Tewksbury, New Jersey.

The effects have been felt throughout Carbon, Monroe and Northampton counties, down through Philadelphia and in northern New Jersey.

Staff in Walnutport, Palmerton, Brodheadsville, Nesquehoning and Easton reported glasses in cupboards shaking. Some reported a rumbling through the house.

Patricia Ingles of Walnutport said the glass in her China cabinet shook for 25 seconds. "It was scary. I was very confused. I told myself "Earthquakes don't happen here," she said.

A dispatcher with the Monroe County 911 center said that residents were calling into the county to report the situation.

“It’s all over the news; it started in New Jersey,” the dispatcher said. “We’re getting lot of calls on it, nothing too serious.”

People from multiple counties in the region posted that their homes shook.

Tess Smale, who lives on Fireline Road in Palmerton, clearly noticed the brief commotion.

“I was sitting here working, felt my house shake, and I thought ‘what is going on’, and I got up, went out in the kitchen, and I could hear my dishes rattling in the cupboard,” Smale said. “Just like that it was over and done with.

“Both my dogs slept right through it. I talked to my son down on Columbia and he said he felt it too.”

James DuBois, who lives in Union Hill, Lehighton, said he "felt the windows shaking like a train was coming down the street."

Residents are reporting they felt rumbling across the Eastern Seaboard.

The Fire Department of New York said there were no initial reports of damage.

In midtown Manhattan, the usual cacophony of traffic grew louder as motorists blared their horns on momentarily shuddering streets. Some Brooklyn residents heard a booming sound and their building shaking. In an apartment house in Manhattan’s East Village, a resident from more earthquake-prone California calmed nervous neighbors.

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul posted on X that her team was assessing impacts and any possible damage.
