'The epicenter of Friday’s metro-area quake was around the sleepy, tiny, agricultural town of Lebanon, NJ — where the temblor sent residents running home from work to check their houses and loved ones.
The US Geological Survey confirmed that the rare historic 4.8 earthquake struck around 10.23 a.m. near the small borough in Hunterdon County — just a stone’s throw from Donald Trump’s National Golf Club in Bedminster, where a 2.0 magnitude aftershock was felt shortly after.
The incident caused buildings to shake everywhere from the Big Apple to Pennsylvania, Connecticut and Delaware.
“I was working from my home office in town, and everything started falling off the shelves,” Lebanon Mayor James Pittinger told The Post. “I felt a shake like I’ve never felt in the 30 years I’ve lived here.
“It was one of the craziest things I’ve ever experienced.”
