@stevekinslow Thanks @stevekinslow! You should report what you felt to the US Geological Survey. They have a page called DYFI (Did You Feel It), and you would just have to answer several questions.

🥵 Some areas of the NJ region will be flirting with daily record highs today as our very steamy May weather continues. #nj #njwx #heatwave
