A magnitude 2.6 aftershock has rattled New Jersey on the first day of May after a dramatic earthquake shook parts of the east coast in early April.
The Garden State has been rocked by more than 150 aftershocks since the initial 4.8 magnitude earthquake which centered near Lebanon on the morning of April 5.
More than 42 million people from New York to Connecticut and Philadelphia felt the first quake, and New Jersey residents have been plagued by tremors ever since.
People in Bridgewater told News 12 New Jersey that the aftershock at around 7am Wednesday 'sounded like a truck was driving by.'
Others in nearby cities including Mendham, Randolph and Gladstone said they felt the shake. One local said their kitchen counter vibrated for around seven seconds.
