Didn’t even feel at all? Was in Queens, NY, strangely a couple of people around me felt it though

My building rattled for a good 15 seconds.

Same here in northern NJ just outside Manhattan. It was extremely noticeable, my cat also freaked out briefly.

4.7 is literally nothing

It’s actually “moderate shaking and light damage expected”[1] but go off sis.

I felt it in Mass -- I was working on the second floor. My wife was on the ground floor and didn't feel it. From our internal slack channel, this seems fairly common -- people on the ground floor don't feel it here in MA, but higher floors, they do feel it.

Felt it too outside of Boston. Thought the heat pump upstairs was having a serious malfunction.
