This reminded me about an old blogpost I read. This linked post may not be the one I remember, but it's close[1].

Back in 2011 there was an earthquake that New Yorkers felt. There were New Yorkers who read tweets of people further south on the East Coast posting about feeling an earthquake, and then the New Yorkers feeling the same earthquake a few seconds later.

There were some news outlets that picked up the story which you can find, but not exactly what OP was discussing.
