“Upon further consideration…I think it probably lasted about a minute. Security cameras captured the shaking (maybe NSFW language).” he added.

A rattling and rumbling sound is heard before Godwin is heard talking about his horrifying experience.

The U.S. Geological Survey said the epicenter of the quake was near Whitehouse Station in New Jersey, and it was felt throughout the region, including all three states from Maryland to Maine.

There were no immediate reports of major damage.
