'Real Housewives of New Jersey' star Melissa Gorga was just as shocked as anyone to find out an earthquake struck the Northeast April 5. But she had a unique explanation for it at the time. The 45-year-old told 'Entertainment Tonight' in an interview that she was working out alone in her basement when the seismic episode physically shook her house, saying it sounded like 'it was being invaded.
