Melissa Gorga from “The Real Housewives of New Jersey” initially mistook a 4.8 magnitude earthquake in the Northeast for a ghost, leading her to consider calling 911 in confusion and fear.
On a seemingly ordinary Friday, April 5, the Northeast was jolted by a 4.8 magnitude earthquake. Social media was abuzz with New Yorkers and New Jerseyans sharing their astonishment and a fair share of jokes about the tremor.
Meanwhile, Melissa Gorga of “The Real Housewives of New Jersey” fame had quite the unique encounter during the quake. Alone in her home, except for her dog, she was working out when the earthquake struck.
“The house sounded like it was being invaded,” she recounted. It was shaking. The floors, the roof, everything. Melissa, weights in hand, was frozen in fear, thinking, “What on earth is happening?”
Irony struck when she realized her front door was unlocked on this very day. A notification about her front door swinging open had her thinking of burglars. Or, more chillingly, something supernatural.

Back to Melissa’s tale. She half-joked about encountering a ghost for the first time. Without the Ghostbusters to call, she thought 911 was her next best bet.
“I am screaming,” she said, recalling how she had 911 dialed up and ready as she dashed upstairs. It wasn’t until her boutique employees and her husband, Joe Gorga, reached out that she realized the true cause.
But hey, Melissa wasn’t the only celeb thrown off by the quake.
“Was that an earthquake in New York?” Busy Philipps pondered on X. Rachel Zegler had another take, humorously suggesting the Earth was just vibing to Beyoncé.
And, for anyone concerned, the Empire State Building chimed in to reassure everyone, “I AM FINE.”
In the midst of all this, it’s comforting to know some reality TV couples are still going strong. Defying the so-called reality TV curse, they’re proving love can survive the spotlight.
So, there you have it. A day that shook the Northeast, literally and figuratively, leaving us with tales of confusion, humor, and a touch of supernatural speculation.
