Expecting the unexpected

This morning approximately before 10:30 am, my chair and kitchen table began to shake as I sat in front of my laptop commenting on LinkedIn posts.

Sometimes I can feel a faint rumble in my northern New Jersey garden apartment from the nearby train or the underground boiler system but the shaking became stronger than I expected.
