We felt it on Lucia Road. Maybe about 10-15 seconds of cabinets and furniture shaking. In that instant, I Thought it was a large truck driving by at first or the furnace about to explode or even a car crashing into the property. Took the kids down to the basement under a doorway just in case. Neighbor called three minutes later and confirmed they felt it too. ~ DJ

Yes! My daughter did an hour ago, sitting 4 feet away from me at a desk. I did not, for some strange reason. Jersey Street, by Salem Harbor.
