Small Earthquake in New York?

yes!!! I felt it!

Yes! I felt a tremor in my apt, 25th floor!

it shook for a couple of seonds!

I remember the other one years ago was only for a nano second....

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

Holy fuck. I thought my building's boiler was about to explode.

Apparently it was centered about 20 miles away.

I thought there was a train going by my apartment, but when I looked, nothing.

‘Splode.

4.8 in New Jersey?

I’m Philadelphia area too. It was a big one, it lasted about qb seconds.

Felt it here near Hartford CT. Thought it was the wind at first.

I felt it. Thought I was imaging things.

Friends in the Bronx really felt it.

@r8, "4.8 in New Jersey? "

OMG, it was a fucking disaster!

This is the earthquake before the big one during the solar eclipse. I pray for you all.

This happened yesterday!!

yes, it's being reported that 4.8 rocked tri state area

Felt it in Lancaster PA!

It has a huge radius. People aren’t used to it. It was a good long 10-15 seconds.

Bunch of pusssies—

@r14, To all you eclipse freaks, an eclipse is a fucking shadow. That's it, it has no physical characteristics whatsoever. If you think an eclipse has any effect on a planet than you're afraid of your own shadow

Has anyone heard from the Yard Signs Troll?

Sorry, Californian—not everyone lives in an area where seismic activity happens regularly. It’s exciting to us.

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

Get a grip—

Some of you don’t seem to understand the word small.

I disagree, ElderLez, many on The DL are small.

Leave it to a bunch of gay men to make something small sound much bigger than it is.

At first I thought it was a truck, but it sounded like the truck would have to have been too close for it to be that loud and vibrate like that.

Plus it went on longer than a couple of seconds and so I thought, OK it's an earthquake.

As R22 posted, "not everyone lives in an area where seismic activity happens regularly. It’s exciting to us."

So there!

Everyone in the Northeast is talking about it—not just gay men.

It felt like a huge HUGE worm traveling underground.

Are we sure that Chris Christie and Donald Trump didn't just jump up and down simultaneously?

NY Times alert:

BREAKING An earthquake shook buildings across the New York City region shortly after 10:20 a.m., according to the U.S. Geological Survey.

Shut up, Timmo.

Make sure you walk without rhythm.

Aftershock, anyone?

Definitely felt a slight tremor here in Flatbush @ 6PM.

According to X (formerly Twitter), it is considered a second quake, not an aftershock. It was a 4.4, so almost as strong as the first one.

“Twitter” is not a source.

I felt it!

what the fuck is going on?

It’s a foreshock of the BIG ONE…run outside now, and wait. You’ll be more easily killed by flying bricks, and we won’t need to see your inane posts after that.

Definitely felt the last one like 20 minutes ago but wasn’t as strong as the first (I was in the exact same location as the first one).

You read from time to time that some people say they enjoy minor earthquakes. What's up with that?

** BREAKING**

The latest video out of New York

A DL’er predicted a few days ago something big was gonna happen and some one else predicted an earthquake in which someone well known person would die. Waiting…

David Muir said there's just been a 4.0 aftershock.

The epicenter was quite close to Trump Bedminster.

I live in NYC, but I’m from California, so this certainly wasn’t a big earthquake. YET…it was terrifying somehow. When it starts you don’t know that it isn’t the end of the world.

What a California Mary!

Sounds like no one from CA that I know in NYC…

What?

I was on the LIRR and didn’t feel that second shock, but everyone’s phone went off which was startling in its own way.

Did your horse and buggy turn over?
