A home security camera captured the frightening moment a rare earthquake shook New Jersey Friday morning.
The shaky clip shows the wooded yard of Jeremy Godwin’s Morristown home as the 4.8 magnitude earthquake struck.
“The earth shakes and rumbles here in Morristown, New Jersey for at least 25 to 30 seconds. #earthquake,” he wrote aboutwhere he posted the images.
“Upon closer inspection…I think it lasted maybe up to a minute. I caught the shaking on a security camera (maybe NSFW language),” he added.
Rattling and rumbling noises are heard before Godwin talks about the terrifying experience.
According to the U.S. Geological Survey, the earthquake’s epicenter was near Whitehouse Station, New Jersey, and could be felt from Maryland to Maine, including throughout the tri-state area.
No major damage was immediately reported.

Local and regional officials in cities hit by the quake said inspections had been launched to ensure the safety of buildings, bridges and other infrastructure.
This is the first major earthquake to hit the Big Apple since 2011.
New York City sent out an emergency alert about the earthquake – but it lasted for about 40 minutes.
He advised residents to “stay indoors and call 911 if they are injured.”
