4.8
That sounds a tad high...but that's what it says on CNBC
I'm currently about 25-30 miles away from NYC and I didn't feel anything...

Since I lived in California for 50 years all I was going to say is a 4.7 quake is nothing and usually doesn't damage anything, but of course one that size is rare for the east coast.

In Greenwich CT and my building shook pretty good for maybe 5-10 seconds. Pretty wild!

The worst quake I remember was being 25 miles from the epicenter of the 5.9 Whittier Ca quake in 1987. There were a couple minor injuries at the place I worked that had a couple dozen employees. All the injuries were from panicking idiots running into each other and other objects. The area I worked in did get showered with breaking fluorescent light bulbs. Myself and the couple guys in my area did the smart thing and hid under a long row of metal work benches that were strong enough you could drop a car on them and they probably would not break. I was just peeking out and watching all the lights dropped down on chains wildly slinging back and forth crashing into crap and breaking.
From what I have seen injuries due to panic in like situations are pretty high.
I was in a hotel at Disney World when a bunch of alarms went off, with a recorded message to evacuate. I was nursing a torn meniscus in my knee and moved slowly with a hinged knee brace on and a cane. I must have had a dozen people run into me almost knocking me over, and they did not say a word.

Earthquake epicenter was in New Jersey (18 mi W of Plainfield, NJ). I felt it in CT for about 10 seconds.
