Residents reported to NBC10 feeling the quake in nearby Pine Hill, Erial and Lindenwold -- some calling and e-mailing the station to say they believe something may have exploded.
There was no explosion though, just the movement of the earth.
There were no immediate reports of injuries or damage from the 3.2-mile deep quake.
