People in parts of the northeast U.S. are still wrapping their heads around Friday’s 4.8 magnitude earthquake out of New Jersey.
“It seemed to last a good twenty, thirty seconds, it felt like forever,” said Jacquelyn Pillsbury from New Jersey.
Pillsbury and her husband were home at the time of the earthquake before traveling to Lancaster County.“That doesn’t normally happen around here, so it was a little bit incongruous,” said Kate Nyx from downtown Lancaster.“I actually thought that there was somebody working on our roof, and I was almost tempted to go out and look, and I didn’t thank goodness, but it probably went on between 10 and 15 seconds,” Dagget said.
When Dagget and her team opened the store Friday, nothing was amiss on their shelves, that is until they heard their brick stock unexpectedly shuffle.“Kind of weird how that works, intuition is kind of a weird thing, but I was like ‘maybe that was an earthquake’ and sure enough a couple hours later I found out it was,” Dagget said.
