The earthquake was only six-tenths of a mile deep and the epicenter was east of Charlottesville, Va, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. ( Click to see map of the earthquake’s location .)
Mild shaking was reported across eastern Long Island and in Connecticut.
The Suffolk County Police Department is asking residents to remain calm.
Heather Breiten, 19, of Medford, was taking an order at Beanberry Cafe in Miller Place when the earthquake hit.
“At first, I wasn’t sure I had just felt an earthquake, but then I saw the lights attached to the ceiling start to shake,” Ms. Breiten said.
Alex Wipf of Cutchogue said his wife was typing when they felt the quake.
“She asked me if I was fooling around with her chair,” he said.
He said he once lived in California, but said Tuesday’s tremors were “really mild” compared to those felt on the West Coast.
Katie Groeber who answered the phone at the Birchwood restaurant in Riverhead said there was some shaking but, “most people didn’t really even feel it.”
Carol Gorman of Riverhead said she thought she imagined the shaking. “My pendant lamp as well as my keys in the door were swaying,” she said. “Then I knew I wasn’t crazy.”
In the early 1980s the North Fork shook from an earthquake centered under the Sound 10 miles north of Greenport. That quake caused no damage.
