A number of residents of various states took to Twitter to express their surprise at a rare event for the northeast.
Many, like Todd Sandler in Philadelphia were asking whether others had felt the tremors.

Anyone else feel a 10-second earthquake in the Philly suburbs?

Another user said she felt her "entire house shake".
