On Friday, April 5, a 4.8 magnitude earthquake struck the Northeast, causing a stir among residents in New York and New Jersey. While many took to social media to share their reactions, Real Housewives of New Jersey star Melissa Gorga had a more intense experience.
Gorga was alone in her house when the earthquake hit, describing the shaking as if her house was being invaded. She was in her home gym with her dog and felt the floor and roof trembling, causing her to freeze in nervousness.
Ironically, on the day of the earthquake, Gorga had left her front door unlocked. When she received a notification that the door had opened, she feared an intruder or even a supernatural presence had entered her home.
Feeling panicked, Gorga considered the possibility of a ghostly encounter and even had 911 ready to dial for help. It wasn't until she received texts from her boutique employees and a call from her husband that she realized it was not a burglary or paranormal activity.
Other celebrities in the Northeast also shared their confusion about the earthquake. Busy Philipps and Rachel Zegler took to social media to express their surprise, with Zegler humorously suggesting that the Earth was simply dancing to Beyoncé's music.
Despite the initial alarm, the Empire State Building reassured fans that it was unharmed by the earthquake, providing a light-hearted response to the situation.
