Earthquake shakes NYC
- Thread starter NoleATL
- Start date
I’m in Newark and got a good shake. Definitely felt it. I’ve been through a few earthquakes including 2 in California. This one was legit. No damage but definitely immediately knew what it was.
We had one up here about 12 or so years ago. This one was a bigger quake.
That state is still paying reparations for Jersey Shore
Implausible as it might sound to some, I wonder if rising sea levels could impact earthquakes.
I looked it up. Last one we felt was in 2011 and it was a 5.8 magnitude in VA that we felt in NYC.
I live outside DC in MD and I recall that one. I'd never experienced that before. Unsettling.
Sort of felt like when you're in your car on an overpass waiting for the light to change, and a huge truck rumbles by shaking the bridge. Except it just kept going and going,and things were falling off shelves.
Boo ****ing hoo. 4.8 is child’s play. Media has a hard on for this.
Damn, 13 years ago? I was sitting right where I am now and remember it very well. Thought I was having a dizzy spell or something.
I am in MD a well. It was quite unsettling. I was on the phone with a Verizon rep in Pittsburgh he felt it as well.
It appears to be the same phenomenon that happens anytime the East Coast gets hit with a storm.
I’m going to add to the hysteria, what if this is the foreshock before the big one?!? Ts n Ps to the NE.
Is there something going on in Iowa that the media should be focusing on instead? Just curious.
For making the only watchable reality TV series in history? Maybe if season 1 was bad reality TV would have ended by 2010
That's the reaction I would expect from your side of the political spectrum.
It hit just before my ball was going to roll in on my first hole-in-one.
I'm suing God.
You knew this wouldn't take long:
timing is so weird. baltimore bridge, now this. feels like terrorism. bond villain types try such shit and usually reality mimics movies
That’s great, it starts with an earthquake.
Then an eclipse on Monday.
F that. Lenny Bruce is very, very afraid.

Goddammit you guys, all these posts and no OP's mom jokes yet.
I am disappointed.

My nephew is in ny in an old skyscraper and said his chair on wheels was rolling around the room. With him in it. Interestingly, he said his first thought was a subway accident.
I was in dc in 2011, and subway issue was my first thought too. Then a bus accident. Then, uh, get under the door frame.
Funny story about the dc one - the cathedral had just been completed after something like 70 years of work, and suffered damage. So the scaffolding went back up. A few years after I was talking to a guy who had asked a guy at the cathedral when the repairs would be done. He was told, “oh, they’re pretty much done, and the scaffolding could come down, but do you have any conception of the fundraising value of keeping it up?” That was five years ago. It’s still up.
That’s impressive. Almost like the “no, I said a bud light” joke that greeted me in my college cafeteria the morning that christa mcsulliffe snd the challenger shuttle blew up.
In fairness, the region has been getting a lot of rain/snow so the mud is quite thick.
