Eric LeGrand was just saying what we were thinking on Friday night, adding some much-needed levity to a strange day in New Jersey. An earthquake on Friday morning was followed up by an aftershock hours later, creating a very surreal day for inhabitants of the tristate area.
The earthquake rattled New Jersey on Friday at 10:23 A.m. ET. The strong tremors were felt throughout the state with the 4.8 magnitude earthquake having originated in the vicinity of Whitehouse Station, New Jersey. Later on Friday at 5:59 p,m. ET, another smaller earthquake of 3.7 magnitude was registered.
The earthquake, an unusual occurrence in New Jersey, was all the talk throughout the area on Friday. It was the most powerful earthquake felt in some parts of New Jersey in over two centuries.
And it led LeGrand, a former Rutgers football player, to crack a joke about the seismic cause for Friday’s earthquakes in New Jersey. Well, we’re assuming it is a joke.
Sorry New Jersey, I’ve had bad gas today

Although with the price of gas at the pumps today, LeGrand might want to figure out a way to…ahh…nevermind.
