If you're keeping track of things that the Garden State has experienced over the past few weeks, it would include snowstorms, below-zero temperatures, drones...

Luckily, this one was not even close to the quake that shook the state back in April.

The April 5th earthquake was a 4.8 centered in Tewksbury Township, and people felt it from one end of the state to the other.
