A 3.1-magnitude earthquake hit New Jersey in September near the Freehold Township. The earthquake was the worst to hit New Jersey since 2011.
“The actual literal epicenter was the public safety complex,” the Gov. Phil Murphy said at the time, according to NJ.com.
“It sounded like a dump truck being dropped from a few stories up, but about four-five blocks away,” a resident reported on an earthquake-tracking website, according to NJ.com. “It rumbled the floor for about five seconds. I could feel from my feet on the floor and through the seat of the chair.”
