Earthquake in NYC

I couldn’t believe it 😱

It lasted about 15 seconds, very similar to the one that did the damage in DC.

What’s everyone saying 🗣️

Holy shit, here in Brooklyn that shit was BIG

Just felt it here in Philadelphia! My office was shaking like mad. No damage though.

Probably no damage anywhere but pretty strong for us.

Is anyone left alive?

was probably 3.4 or something on the smaller end. NYC people aren't used to feeling quakes the way West Coasters are.

Ok. I thought I was bugging. I’m home and sitting on my bed and felt the shaking. It was pretty strong here in Brooklyn. The wall behind me made noise.

I queefed.

I queefed.

Yes—no big deal. It would be just another tremor in L.A. Life goes on.

—Ex-Californian in Manhattan

I felt it!

I queefed in 1999 and these are the aftershocks.

Thanks, fracking 🙄

A 4.8 in Lebanon, NJ!

R8, that's true but there have been a few here. This was similar in intensity to the quake a few years ago.

4.8 in NJ

R12 this isn’t California. California architecture was built to withstand tremors and earthquakes. NY architecture isn’t. That’s the issue with the idea of earthquakes on the East coast. Our buildings weren’t built to handle them and can easily fall apart in a strong earthquake.

I hate when west coast transplants make comments like that.

Are there any tsunamis 🌊 or is it sushimi 🍣

Someone I know in PA said they had an earthquake there too

Philly area def felt it. It was long! About 10 seconds. Family throughout the region felt it.

CNN - Costa making it legit

A 4.8 is pretty big for an area not used to it.

4.8

Jersey is so weather-hardcore

Holy Shit! I'm out in Suffolk County Long Island. Had to be at least a 4.0. Flashbacks to living in California.

Right before the shaking started in 2011, I felt a wave of nausea. That didn't happen.

This just happened yesterday!!

NYC is gonna end up in shambles one day. Them building all these high-rise buildings… if we ever get a big earthquake (which most expect to happen here one day) NYC will be a mess.

Felt it up in northwest CT.

Any damage?

My friend in Vermont said it was felt over there too.

Weather Channel just reported it, and experienced it, if the shaky weather lady is any indication.

Some of my friends a few miles away from me felt it here in RI - I felt nothing. One works in a hospital, said the whole building shook (she's 2 miles east of me). Again, I felt nothing.

It was very quick here in NNJ. Not 15 seconds. More like 2-3.

Imagine being in one of those new 100 floor skinny bitch towers that have fucked the skyline

MARY!

It was just a quick, minor rumble in midtown.

I was mildly freaking out in 2011. The worst is not knowing how bad or how long it will last. I live in a 120 year old brick building not built for earthquakes. Brick buildings do not do well in quakes.

R19 don’t be ridiculous —a 4.8 isn’t going to bring down a building. And just so you know, other than unreinforced brick facades, Manhattan will be just as safe as downtown LA unless it’s THE BIG ONE.

Tall new buildings are built to withstand quakes and high winds.

R38 those buildings are designed with earthquakes in mind. They bend with the shaking. However, those older apartment buildings and brownstones were not built for earthquakes.

You just know Costas has a nice ass

Ugh I was in Brooklyn during the one several years ago. I was in some old ass brick building that swayed for a good bit. One of the most terrifying experiences I've had, and I've slept through hurricanes before.

R43 that’s what they tell you. But these buildings are flimsy.

R37, it was definitely longer on the Philadelphia region. It was long enough that I was able to go to the windows and the house was still shaking. Thought it was a helicopter hovering above the house.

There’s a building near me not doing well with the earthquake

This is the Mary! of all Oh, Mary! threads.

Get a grip—

Hurricane Sandy made brick NYC apartments shake. One even fell on 8th ave. So I can't imagine what a serious earthquake would do.

I hope the stock market wasn’t shaken. 😬

Between earthquakes, solar eclipses, aliens and CERN, it's all getting too much for this old White woman!

Jersey Strong

R48 That’s one of the new high-rises in Downtown Brooklyn I think

Yes, R49, you said that on the other earthquake thread. Get some new material.

i assumed my fat neighbors were wrestling

USGS said the epicenter is in Northern northern New Jersey where I live. I thought my fat neighbor upstairs was just jumping.

[quote]...Manhattan will be just as safe as downtown LA unless it’s THE BIG ONE.

"This is the big one, Elizabeth! I'm comin' to join you!"

Generation Z have been asked to put on their Thunder Vests

In Brooklyn. My building really shook. Thought shelves would fall over

let's all trade fat neighbor stories.

R60 same. The wall behind me made creaking noises. It was actually scary.

David, hold me!

It lasted over 30 seconds. The last one this strong in NYC was around 2011 or 2012.

Tons of cop cars flying down my block right now out of nowhere.

It was strange. I didn’t consciously register “earthquake” but I was looking out my kitchen window and I had a vision of the earth lifting in a wave and the house being destroyed as I was thrown back and trapped in wreckage.

[quote]it was definitely longer on the Philadelphia region. It was long enough that I was able to go to the windows and the house was still shaking. Thought it was a helicopter hovering above the house.

R47, I though it was the water department, because they've been working with heavy machinery a block away all week. It lasted long enough for me to get up, look out the window, sit back down, then get up again to move things rattling on a nearby shelf.

From Philadelphia's ABC affiliate:

[quote]A 4.7 magnitude earthquake hit Hunterdon County, New Jersey on Friday morning, with shaking felt across the Northeast, including Philadelphia. It was located about 4 miles northeast of Whitehouse Station, New Jersey. It had a depth of about 3 miles, the U.S. Geological Survey said.

[quote]These are preliminary details are are subject to change.

[quote]It happened around 10:25 a.m.

Do fat people fall down?

[quote]Hurricane Sandy made brick NYC apartments shake. One even fell on 8th ave.

If you’re talking about the one in Chelsea around 16th (?) Street, it ripped the entire front right off the building. I felt sorry for the people who lived there because all their stuff was just exposed. You could see everything.

Getting an Emergency Alert notice on my phone more than 30 minutes after the event serves what purpose?

I didn’t feel it in Philly.

Lana again?

I didn't feel a thing.

I got that too, R74, and it says to stay indoors. Nonsense. They like to scare the shit out of people.

[quote]Getting an Emergency Alert notice on my phone more than 30 minutes after the event serves what purpose?

At least you got one. I don’t understand why mine didn’t send a message. I get a text when a kid is missing 400 miles away but not when I’m experiencing an earthquake.

is it safe to drive? will sinkholes open? will i go careening into a crack? it's too late to cancel my therapy appointment but i'm scared of vanishing beneath the earth.

[quote]A cluster of planetary conjunctions on 3 April can result in increased seismic activity, potentially reaching high 6 to 7 magnitude around 4-5 April. A combination of planetary and lunar conjunctions from 5 to 7 April will likely result in stronger tremors and more seismic unrest overall throughout the week.

If you feel dizzy or nauseous it’s from the quake. Take a little Dramamine if that’s the case. I’m def feeling a big nauseous.

I wonder if I was the only who was cumming at that exact second and experienced the extremely rare Double Earthquake?

R69 and it’s still an empty lot to this day!

[quote] California architecture was built to withstand tremors and earthquakes. NY architecture isn’t.

Ridiculous. There's a long list of buildings and structures of all types that are at risk of collapse during an earthquake in California. I would print it here but I'll spare you. And as someone pointed out, ALL BUILDINGS everywhere are at risk of collapse in the big one, even retrofitted ones.

What is the point if an emergency alert AFTER the quake if it’s too small to have caused any damage?

Do Californians get an alert for every quake?

R74 Isn't it safer to be outside and away from buildings during a big earthquake?

Imagine you were having brain surgery and the Doctor’s hand started shaking uncontrollably and you come out a Republican MAGAT?

There's work being done in my building (Lower Westchester), so I though it was them,

I pity you, R84.

[quote]Getting an Emergency Alert notice on my phone more than 30 minutes after the event serves what purpose?

R70 & R82, they're rare in the NE, so some people may not know it was an earthquake and an aftershock is not outside the realm of possibility.

[quote]I didn’t feel it in Philly.

r/philadelphia earthquake post for you, R71.

I had multiple orj-asms! It was EPIC!

working link

The epicenter was in Uranus

Thank you for Poo-pooing us, you jaded West Coast people.

When something rare like this happens, it’s completely unexpected and an alien feeling. So it was rather scary.

R83 100% wrong. The dumbest thing you could do in an earthquake is to run outside. But you be you…

Its kind of a forgone conclusion that all those Christian Prepper Channels will be going APESHIT over this-

I was out running errands and didn't feel a thing. But everyone else in my town did, according to Facebook.

Though with our potholes, who could tell?

Pat Robertson wants everyone to send him 100 million dollars between now at the Satanic Eclipse Monday or he will have to stay buried

Oh god, JLo is shooting Kiss of the Spider Wonan on a soundstage in New Jersey! I hope a heavy piece of lighting equipment didn’t conk her on her head.

I wish it lasted an hour 😆

I was driving in my Subaru on the Bronx River Pkwy- I didn't notice anything.

and no I'm not a Lesbian.

I wish you were buried under rubble, R98. 😆

I love the sign language people (press conference) and will always treasure dearly the guy in Africa who was caught just making it up for the or President just to get on TV

R100 I wish your mother had gone ahead with the abortion 😝

Daffy Hochul says “stay away from high rises”.

[quote]Daffy Hochul says “stay away from high rises”.

Not as ridiculous as it sounds.

Many building in NYC are old. Also, it's not like SF which specifically includes requirements for earthquake safety in building codes.

Old buildings not designed with earthquake safety in mind is not a good combination during an earthquake - especially a 4.8 magnitude one.

My cat is still freaked out. I thought my building was collapsing. Bring on the aftershocks!

Trump says to take your fish tank pills and you’ll be fine

R102, your mother did, and you're the result. 😝

Kensington area of Brooklyn here. I felt vibrations first and then the building shook for about 10-15 seconds.

The sky was so blue today 💙

A rat farts in NYC. BREAKING NEWS!

R107 so unbelievably tragic 🥺

A 4.7 earthquake is significant, and is the largest earthquake in NJ in 250 years. So fuck off, R110.

FORMER gov Christie is on CNN and he said he DID fall down

We WILL rebuild,

Yawn, but East Coast Strong!! Thoughts, prayers and eye rolls to all involved.

Was he able to get up again R113?

It’s New York. Nobody cares.

[quote] Mayor Eric Adams said at a news conference that aftershocks could happen, but that “New Yorkers should go about their normal day.”

Ok, this hysteria is getting out of control. How's that bridge in Baltimore?

Never been in an earthquake before and must say that was a scary feeling. Brief, yes, but scary.

I just got the perfect idea for my next movie!

The sky was so cloudy that day (after days of relentless rain).

R119, they were reporting on the bridge this morning as well, so relax. It wasn't like that happened this morning and the earthquake knocked it off the news. There is such a thing as being too cool for school, so get over yourself.

Cause and effect? Tectonic Plates shift, Taiwan gets the brunt of it ...

Oh no, that was no spasm. I got on the bed. The whole bed was thumping and rising off the floor and shaking. The whole thing with me on it.

R125 = Pazuzu

Has anything on this hot piece of ass been posted before on DL? Zach Iscol, Commissioner of NYC Emergency Management has been speaking in a press conference.

The last time my bed shook like this, I was possessed by the devil.

[quote]Hirepurpose connects military veterans and transitioning service members

Hmmmmm.

Ivana rolled over in her grave in Bedminster.

And said to herself, “why the fuck am I covered in paper?”

Attention! Attention! This is Miss Schuster. Please listen very carefully. An earthquake from New Jersey is coming this way.

[quote]I just got the perfect idea for my next movie!

Chrissy Metz *is* the Receptionist in the skyscraper who holds onto her desk as the building shakes propelling her across the floor and out the window, plunging 50 stories to her death.

Everybody sing!

I agree, R127. Iscol is hot af. Talk about BDE for days.

R125 Look Mrs MacNeil, the problem isn’t with your daughter’s bed. It’s with your daughter’s brain.

I remember about 30 years ago, I made my first visit to California - Long Beach - to visit a friend who was living out there for a few years. When she showed me my room, she told me to keep my sneakers beside my bed when I go to bed at night. In case there was an earthquake, I would need good footwear (not slippers) to walk across the floor if the windows were shattered and there was glass and other debris on the floor. That has stuck with me every time I travel anywhere.

No one cares about your lame-ass trip from last century.

No one cares about what you don't care about, R138.

Here in Hell's Kitchen, I heard rumbling last night which I took to be thunder. Then this morning another rumbling sound followed by feeling and seeing my apartment shake. Not a good feeling.

Stay safe, everybody.

I hope the celebrities and billionaires are safe in all those supertall and narrow skyscrapers.

It's more than celebs and billionaires who live in skyscrapers, R141.

R141: There are far more building staff and domestic workers than celebrities and millionaires in those buildings.

r137, You make a good point about preparation. At least west coast people think about an earthquake kit. A CIA agent was asked about personal safety and he said they are taught to always wear lace up shoes in case you need to run. Carry a laminated card, not in your wallet, with 7 important phone contacts because no one will steal a laminated card. And always have a crisp 100 dollar bill because a 100usd will get you something any place in the world.

Right now, I have 2 bottles of seltzer, no batteries, a couple of candles and no way to communicate if Spectrum is knocked out for any reason.

Philly had an earthquake ten years ago. Pretty much the same deal. Felt like a heavy truck passing but not passing.

[quote] no one will steal a laminated card

Huh, R144?

And west coasters have more need to be prepared.

[quote] Carry a laminated card, not in your wallet, with 7 important phone contacts because no one will steal a laminated card. And always have a crisp 100 dollar bill because a 100usd will get you something any place in the world.

Not in your wallet, then where? People are not breaking a 100 dollar bill. It’s easy to lose one bill then many.

R144, don't loafers make more sense though not the best fashion choice?

'[R12] this isn’t California. California architecture was built to withstand tremors and earthquakes. NY architecture isn’t. That’s the issue with the idea of earthquakes on the East coast. Our buildings weren’t built to handle them and can easily fall apart in a strong earthquake.I hate when west coast transplants make comments like that.'

Maybe, just maybe, you'll remember this next time there's a big rainstorm in California drenching us in a year's worth of rain in two days? But I doubt it.

Sure, here in CA a 4.7 wouldn't cause a panic -but we'd sure as hell talk about it. And anyone in a tall building would have been scared by the swaying. So I feel for the New Yorkers and New Jersey-ites (is that the word?) who were shaken (pun intended) by the experience. I'm glad no injuries have been reported. But given how nasty many east coasters were to us during the recent spate of storms (which killed people and caused billions in damage) you can't blame us for throwing a little shade your way...

R104 babes, the new buildings aren’t built with earthquakes in mind either. And that’s a fact. There’s a reason they say be careful with the high rises. Keep being naive. You’ll learn the hard way.

And most high rises in NY are new.

R108 unless you’re born and raised here you don’t belong in Kensington

I was in my office in Tribeca on the 18th floor and the whole building shook for about fifteen seconds or so. It was the weirdest feeling - my desk chair rolled around under me. I do still feel a little bit queasy. This was my first time feeling an earthquake although my boyfriend said he felt the one a decade or so ago out in Queens where we lived at the time (I didn't notice that one). Our super came on the loud speaker a few minutes later and tried to calm down everybody, I guess everybody was calling downstairs or exiting the building all at once. I didn't think about what I should be doing until it was over, I had an entirely delayed reaction. My co-worker just thought he was having sudden vertigo, but I get that, it felt like that.

R149, since 1995, buildings in NYC are built with specifications to withstand earthquakes. Sure there are a lot of older buildings, but to say NYC has no earthquake-resistant buildings is inaccurate.

And the Twin Towers, which you keep alluding to, were hit by huge aircraft. And they were designed to implode, not fall over.

R153 mmmhmmmm.

Really enjoyed reading that reddit thread. That is some funny shit. So Kristie Kreme really did fall down? Priceless! The SSGEOS site is getting a follow. Scarily accurate and the predictions for more to come this weekend and even stronger seismic activity next week is giving me the willies. Felt it in South Brooklyn. Standing at the kitchen sink when everything started to shake, rattle and roll. 🤯

What are you banging on about, R154?

My office is on the water in Philly and it must’ve been 20-30 seconds long.

R157- 30 seconds is a long time to experience that.

If you are not used to earthquakes, anything that is felt is extraordinary. Today's and the one in 2011 were very unusual for the northeast. I remember one in the early 80s. I thought a big truck had driven by, my mother thought I was moving furniture in my room. So this and 2011 were something we've never felt before.

I never mock southerners or northwesterners about their inability to deal with snow. It is something they are simply not used to nor have the infrastructure to deal with. It is a similar situation for people who experience an earthquake in an area not prone to them. I think because of my experience in 2011, I wasn't nearly as freaked out today.

NYC building codes certainly take earthquake safety into consideration. Building codes were changed in 1995. Of course, most building predate the 1995 code, but the new towers are built to withstand moderate earthquakes.

R149 everything you wrote is a mistake, or plainly wrong.

The more you know💫

You think you got problems?

- The Icelandic Peoples

Homes have been declared unsafe in Newark!

Happy now, Californians?

Oh, pshaw, R164! No mudslides? Fires? Collapsed bridges? Rubble? You call that an earthquake?

Tell me your fuck’n problems, Bitches

R59. Thanks for the laugh!

Angelenos!

R165 cheap sarcasm is not your strong suit.

No, R168, only sophisticated sarcasm is, but why waste it on you?

Show, don’t tell.

As if you've proved yourself to be Oscar Wilde, Miss Mary R170?

r147, r144. You can easily run out of your loafers in a mad dash.

If you were unconscious, someone might take your wallet but would disregard the card.

The 100 is for an emergency to get you to safety . Think, someone walks up to you and asks for some small favor, I'll give you 20 dollars to make a call, or take me to the train station, vs. 100usd? A hundred dollar bill makes an impression anywhere in the world. We're talking about CIA training, so they probably are smart enough how to carry around a bill without losing it, one would hope.

Carrying around a hundred-dollar bill is stupid.

Y’all nuts —

Was it felt on the subway? Imagine being caught between stations in a big one.

Apparently it was not, R175, nor was there any damage to any subway.

I guess the trains shake so much irt would be hard to feel the earthquake tremor-ing

[quote] so much irt

Oh dear, R177.

[quote]Homes have been declared unsafe in Newark!

R164 - well that IS the Lower Roseville section of the city.

Everything in Newark has seen better days.

R178, R177 was referring to the IRT, so no "odd dear" shaming for this one.

[quote] so no "odd dear" shaming for this one.

Oh dear, R181.

Buncha pussies!

Lots of firetrucks out in Queens, so I'm guessing they're checking for reported possible structural damage.

The Statue of Liberty was struck by lightning earlier in the week.

It’s the end of NYC. Repent, sodomites, or destruction will be your fate.

Ouch!

It was in New Jersey.

And felt in the tri-state area and New England, R187.

They felt…a shake? Oh. My. God.

What r187 said. Everyone is going on and on about the earthquake in NYC! Only it didn’t take place under NY. The earthquake came from under NJ and the neighbor states felt it too.

R190, I wrote the title of this thread because that was what was happening to me in the moment. And let's face it Earthquake in New Jersey just doesn't have the gravitas Earthquake in NYC.

-OP

What R188 said, R190.

Let’s face it—earthquake felt in NJ is local news. Earthquake felt in Northeast is national news. Earthquake felt in New York is global news.

^^True dat!

My home is in Brooklyn. The shaking and rumbling lasted 30-40 seconds at least.

No, it didn’t. But thanks for posting.

Your perception is not the reality.

So easy to comprehend: the epicenter was Lebanon, New Jersey, and it was felt in several states. Are we done with that?

The “I survived…” tshirts have just hit the tourist shops. Amazing how fast they can print those.

[quote]My home is in Brooklyn. The shaking and rumbling lasted 30-40 seconds at leas

I was in SF during the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake.

While it only lasted 8-15 seconds, it felt like it went a LOT longer while the ground was rolling. It was actually sort of terrifying.

Today's NYC earthquake didn't last that long, but it definitely felt like it lasted 30-40 second to me although I know it was probably less than 10 seconds total.

I walked through different parts of my house, from the living room, to the back then to the front, and then I walked outside it was still rumbling. It stopped as soon as I got to my front steps. To do all that takes a minimum of 30 seconds.

No it doesn’t. It’s a universal truth that people unfamiliar with earthquakes overestimate the length of time of movement.

God is sending America strong signs to tell us to repent.

Earthquakes and eclipses and many more things to come.

I pray that our country listens. 🙏

MTG

Sorry I had CrossFit class at Equinox

Miss 201 fancies herself a seismologist, when really she's merely a size-mologist.

Yeah it was not 30 seconds. I posted above about feeling it in my office in Tribeca, and I felt as if I was exaggerating a little by saying 15 seconds. 10 seconds tops.

*For Miss R201

Not totally, R197, it should be noted that the US Northeast is essentially a huge slab of granite. Hence, the Virginia earthquake of 2011 was felt as greatly as the quake from NJ.

I would say it was 10 seconds where I was as well.

Lucy Jones knows better than you R204

R201 The last earthquake I experienced was in 2012 , I was in my office building in midtown Manhattan. That lasted under 15 seconds

[quote]God is sending America strong signs to tell us to repent.

Well, we've had cases of the plague and leprosy in Florida - so sure, I'll buy it. However, that's the fundie interpretation.

The DL interpretation if that god is punishing us for fundie nutbags twisting the word of god and taking his name in vain and blaming their sins on him. God is sending signs to repent for what the rethugs are doing in his name.

I’d say 5 seconds for me.

Officially 35 seconds.

R208, I agree. I'm in Brooklyn. The 2011 earthquake was probably 5 or 10 seconds longer and felt much worse, though I had never felt an earthquake that strong before. Interestingly, I was sitting on my couch in the same place during both earthquakes.

Something squirted in my panties during the vibrayshuns!!!!!

Earsshqwwake!

R190 kinda reminds me of people in Reseda bleating on about how the epicenter of the 1994 Northridge earthquake was actually in Reseda.

Whew--in honor of the earthquake we had in Manhattan today, I'm having a Manhattan tonight!

Drink up guys!

Yum, R219!

So that's why CNN had about an hour of droning NYC department heads at a podium acting like it was 9/11 again? Where was Rudy?

We need a hero. Have any heroes emerged?

What’s your problem R151?

Eric Adams, America’s Mayor! Why that’s bad for Biden AND Trump.

Joey obviously received his Trump Bible.

New Yorkers are so tarsome. They really think they deserve to be on the news because a Snapple fell off a shelf.

Just experienced an aftershock at 6:00pm. Weaker, and perhaps no more than 10-12 seconds this time.

That was your bowels moving …

Where are you R227?

I felt it too. Quite strong for an aftershock and several hours later.

R228 Thanks. That may explain it.

Fuck! There was another tremor a minute ago in South Brooklyn. Not as scary as the first one but it’s still unnerving.

R230 there’s no time or intensity ratio between the main quake and aftershocks. Didn’t you learn that in 5th grade science?

Damn. I missed it.

Unless it was what I thought was a street cleaner going buy my house 🤷🏻‍♂️

In North Jersey, I just experienced another one five minutes ago. Is it an aftershock if it happens five hours later?

Yeah, definitely felt a slight tremor here in Flatbush @ 6PM.

I felt it. An aftershock this late? What the fuck?

Aftershock in Philly.

We just had an aftershock a couple minutes ago.

Aftershocks can happen a few hours later, and sometimes 1-2 days later.

It can happen weeks later—duh.

R242 Possible, but that's usually if it was a major earthquake.

Well then—this could be a foreshock to the BIG ONE. It cuts both ways…

I am in a bus. Didn’t feel the aftershock.

I felt the aftershock.

The BIG ONE is not going to be in New Jersey.

1 Seaport is not designed for earthquakes. It's known as the Leaning Tower of the Financial District (FiDi).

Our braying jackass of a mayor has not issued any safety guidelines regarding evacuation, e.g. when, how, who and where to?

Incompetent fucker makes me wish Rudy were here ... almost.

My underthings are all slick and dewy from these surprise vibrayshuns!!!!!!!

R244 The northeast US and especially the tri-state area is not a seismic hotbed. It's highly unlikely we will be getting an earthquake as bad or stronger as today's anytime soon. It's important to point out that this was the strongest earthquake in this region in about 50 years. A foreshock is a lot more likely on the west coast.

But there’s a fault line running under Central Park.

And with all the new buildings going up in Manhattan, I wonder how solid the ground actually is.

4.8 is feisty for the northeast.

[quote]4.8 is feisty for the northeast.

You’re talking to a bunch of size queens who will accept nothing less than 8.5.

I felded during the earthquick and split open my lady potato.

Me brain damageded too.

The aftershock at 6pm had me running for the xanax.

The hair is standing up on my arms and I sleep like shit. Solar maximums, eclipses, retrogrades, the poles are about to flip.

Jan. o2, 2024 It was a magnitude 1.7 but people on Roosevelt Island in high rise buildings were really rattled.

3 Newark buildings deemed unsafe due to 4.8-magnitude earthquake: officials

R259 that’s what I was afraid of. And it might be a few days before we realized the extent of all the damage.

I hope nothing happens like the Miami condo collapse.

^Mary!

This was the view from the Statue of LIberty.

R251 it was a joke for the idiots here …..

R262 Yeah, shake it baby......

You're all gonna die up there...

"There have been at least 18 aftershocks since the quake, including a 4.0 magnitude recorded southwest of Gladstone, 20 minutes from the epicenter, at 5:59 p.m., the USGS said Friday night. There is a 74% chance of magnitude 3 and above aftershocks happening within the next week, and just 1% chance of aftershocks magnitude 5 and stronger, the USGS estimates in its aftershock forecast."

Since the media seems to think that only the Big Apple was affected…

The earthquake was better than the eclipse

I felt slightly stirred, but not shaken
