    By NBC News staff and wire reports

    The magnitude 2.0 temblor struck at 1:19 a.m. and was centered in Ringwood, N.J., a community that’s still reeling from downed trees and power outages caused by Superstorm Sandy.

    Geophysicist Jessica Turner at the National Earthquake Information Center said some people reported hearing a loud boom in their homes, according to The Associated Press. Turner said those on upper floors of a home may have felt shaking or saw objects on walls vibrate. 

    The quake was 3 miles below ground and could also be felt in Wanaque, Oakland, Franklin Lakes, West Milford and Peterson.

    Ringwood police said there are no reports of damage in the area, the Associated Press reported.

    The last recorded earthquake in New Jersey struck in February 2010 and measured 2.2 magnitude, Turner said.

    why is it that the far right (notice i did not say conservative), always complain the liberals are anti-god, what about the far right, Jesus had alot to say about wealth and greed, and serving 2 masters. etc...at least the liberals have more compassion for the downtrodden.
