Scary security video captures earthquake rattling New Jersey
A home security camera captured the frightening moment a rare earthquake rattled New Jersey on Friday morning.
The shaky clip shows the wooded backyard of Jeremy Godwin’s home in Morristown as the 4.8-magnitude temblor struck.
“Earth shaking and rumbling here in Morristown, NJ for at least 25-30 seconds. #earthquake,” he wrote on X, where he posted the footage.
“Upon further review… think it lasted maybe as much as a minute. Caught the shaking on a security cam (might be some NSFW language),” he added.
Rattling and rumbling sounds are heard before Godwin is heard talking about the terrifying experience.
According to the US Geological Survey, the earthquake’s epicenter was near Whitehouse Station, New Jersey, and could be felt across from Maryland to Maine, including the entire tri-state area.
There were no immediate reports of major damage.

Local and regional officials from cities struck by the temblor said inspections had been launched to ensure that buildings, bridges and other infrastructure were safe.
It was the first major quake to hit the Big Apple since 2011.
New York City sent out an emergency alert about the earthquake — but it was about 40 minutes late.
It advised residents to “remain indoors and to call 911 if injured.”
