The U.S. Geological Survey is reporting a Mag. 3.9 undersea earthquake at about 10:45 a.m. Tuesday, centered off the continental shelf 181 miles southeast of New York City. That's roughly 200 miles east northeast of Ocean City, MD.

Was sitting in my office when my chair started to rock back and forth on its wheels. Thought there was an explosion in the building at first, lasted 3 or 4 seconds. I was in Bay Shore Long Island in New York.

I am in Smithtown, Long Island and I felt my house vibrate and shudder for about 10 0r 15 seconds. Not sure about these other people with water bottles and chairs rolling....come on..it wasn't THAT strong!!

We heard a large unexplained explosion type sound at 10:45 this morning. it sounded as it came out of the East. We are located in Forest Hill, Maryland. Several large murmerations of Starlings and a large skein of Geese took flight immediately after the noise. Geese are not currently in season, so it left us here at work wondering.
is it possible this is more than a concidence?
FR: Seems unlikely. We're a long way from what was a relatively small undersea tremor to hear anything. More likely some kind of testing at Aberdeen Proving Ground.

I am in Forest Hill, and we heard (and felt) what was a big boom, are you sure that these cannot be related....i just heard it again...that was strange. Maybe not, unless there was another earthquake.

How well do you suppose off shore turbines and under sea tremors will mix?
FR: No worse than those on shore, I suppose. Lots of wind turbines in California. And these seem to be pretty rare events. I can't remember another one off the US east coast.

@ Ajax eastman........if they can withstand 60 ft waves during a nor' easter they can surly withstand a measly little tremor.

I was kneeling on the floor, writing on a table in Virginia near the coast when I mentioned to a co-worker that that table and floor were vibrating. Who would have thought it was a small earthquake?

We were at the Nabb Research Center and felt the whole building begin to roll back and forth like on a the ocean.

I was out in my garage at about 1:55 and the ladder started to shake and the bike hanging up started to sway. I also felt rather unstable for a few seconds. Anything happen at this time near delmarva??
