Did we just have a earthquake in New York? What the fuck was that?

[knightmelodic]

I was in CT, just across the state line and the meeting room shook. We all looked at each other; thought it was a big truck or something.

It's normal. There was a 4.2 earthquake in Buffalo/Western New York last year just a day after the 7.8 one in Turkey and Syria.

Earthquakes happen every day around the world. Just a matter of time they hit a town near you.

Yes, you are right but you have to pay attention to the sequence sometime

Why are some sources saying 4.7 and others 4.8?

Man.....when I lived in the Rockaway's back in the late 90s/early 2000s, hearing a Concorde fly above felt like an earthquake. It would shake the whole building I lived in.

This is very interesting because the Taiwan earthquake was a few days ago yesterday Japan has 6.2 so yeah things are getting very interesting and let me tell you guys something in New York……. Get a 6.5 that whole city would be in a huge pile of rubble.

And only say this statement because New York is not built for earthquakes that’s above 6.5.

Precautions.. dosent mean it’s gonna happen.. they want to make it seem like they doing something since they were like an hr late with informing people after the initial earthquake

Its the fourth time shit....

 

[EPDC]

LMAO

 

[kuervogold]

Man, I remember the last quake. It was around 2012 and it was centered in VA. They were buggin in the city for a minor ass 3 point something quake 300 miles away. Shut down the airtrain everything.

 

[CORNBREAD]

Had one in the 80s

4.0 magnitude

I hear you on that. I’ve experienced two in years past.

First time at work it sounded like one of the big 18-wheelers going by out front. But for 10 - 20 seconds instead of two to three.

Second time at home it felt like the house was quietly pulling side to side for awhile. I started to move under the desk. Checked Reddit afterward and confirmed it. Went to work later and asked coworker 20 mins away. They felt nothing there. Surprising.

I remember the 2011 earthquake in the DC area and your first description is spot on. I was at work and the building started shaking as if a truck was driving past. Then the floor started swaying and there was no doubt what it was. The swaying of an entire building beneath my feet was one of the weirdest feelings I've ever experienced.

Agreed.

At work the roadway out front isn’t the smoothest so sometimes they are travelling fast to the highway onramp a few minutes away and the big trucks generate extra noise. Residential area but people are speeding along straight away as it’s a mix of properties and commercial bldgs.

I was talking to a friend at the time and we just stopped as it was fairly loud. Thankfully the ground felt secure and we were far away from windows.
