[meetkitty123]

Today at roughly 10:24 AM I was at work and the building shook.

1 mo

I was at my second job about to clock out at 6:00 p. m. and the ground starts shaking we just experienced another one. This time a 4.0.

[strateguy632]

we had a bigger one in 2002, n. y. 5.3. a similar in Maine 4.7 in 2012. so they added the subjective opinion "rare" just trying to make a fake sensation increase ratings n scare people...

not really rare!

remember it is election year and inflation here has been outrageous, biden-flation, need to distract people from the grocery bill. but even one house didn't fall.

[JohnK123]

I was on a vacation and I felt the shaking and thought it was a truck lol. And then I saw it was a 4.8 earthquake. I felt the after shock as well but it only shook the building I was in for two seconds. Newark’s airport delayed flights for about 2 hours so that was interesting

[JohnK123]

Thanks for mho! How r u

I don't understand how you could possibly feel an earthquake there on the East Coast. Earthquakes are a product of California and we have patents and copyrights on all of them. I think you're going to be hearing it from California lawyers about this. We reserve the right to enjoy all earthquakes in the US.

[ProbablyClueless]

You commies think you get to control everything!

[msc545]

@ProbablyClueless Just the earthquakes and the brush fires.

[WindAtMyBack]

I'm not familiar with NJ and NY specifically, but there are definitely fault lines in the east. I've felt a few in my life including some that had the lamps shaking even a hundred miles from the center.

[ProbablyClueless]

There are fault lines around here, but they aren't very active. Most of what we get is a 1 or 2. It's news when we get a 3.

[Bricealan]

@msc545 Well said. I will join the "class action' suit!!!

[Wiredone]

Then you should control the earthquakes and keep them close to you. For not keeping them on a leash you will be hearing from my lawyer.

[msc545]

We have very well trained earthquakes that only knock down buildings in California and only kill people here. They certainly will not do these things if they are taken to your states and stop trying to talk them into it. Our lawyers are watching!

[msc545]

Just so all you wimps know here in California people don't even bother waking up for any earthquake that isn't at least a 5.0 or more. It's cute watching all of you cringe over a crummy level. 4.8.

[Likes2drive]

No i was driving a big truck at the time so I didn’t feel it but everybody that was standing or sitting inside felt it for about 20 seconds but somehow I missed it

[Likes2drive]

I would’ve felt it if I was standing outside and parked because I’m on Long Island

[KrakenAttackin]

I saw that Philadafrica got a shaking, it must have been alarming!

[meetkitty123]

@KrakenAttackin It is alarming. Unless I am at an amusement park on a ride I don't want to feel the ground shaking 🫨. And it just happened again.

[KrakenAttackin]

Yikes!!

[exitseven]

No, I was out of the blast zone. Still it is a little scary

[TommyMountainFigure]

I'm the other side of the pond so no, but we heard about it over here on the radio. The fact you don't have them often must be a cause for concern!

[strateguy632]

we had a bigger one in 2002, 5.3 this is just trying to make a sensation increase ratings n scare people... remember it is election year and inflation here has been outrageous need to distract people from the grocery bill.

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

That sounds horrible, sorry you experience that I couldn't imagine in Monongahela Pennsylvania me taking the trash out and feel the ground shaking yes it would shake my nerves up.

[ProbablyClueless]

Nah. I was outside of the red area. I figured I would have felt something though.

[Grond21]

I'm a few hours south of you and I still didn't feel it

[strateguy632]

also n new york, a guy told me his windows, "rattled" but we far. even in n. j. not even one house lost a window. to make sensation news added the word rare.

[Grond21]

Yeah, that's what they always do

[Still-alive]

Well im on the west coast so I didn’t feel that one but we have gotten a few smaller ones in recent years

[Wiredone]

I felt both of them. The one at 10:23 and the one at 5:59. I knew what it was because I first felt it back in 2011.

[KostasKouvalis]

There was one in Northern California the previous evening that I felt

[Wise4myage]

I live too far away, but, I have been in much larger earthquakes.

[DarkLegacy]

It was no biggy, just a little shake.

[meetkitty123]

Not a biggie perhaps for some areas but up this way it's not common accordance.

[meetkitty123]

occurrence
... Phone auto corrected 🙄 incorrectly lol

[NYlatefun]

Yup, quite unexpected, I was peeing and felt the building shake quickly.

[Rangers]

Never felt a thing, cause I'm in Texas

[WhitneySnow]

I felt it. I was at school.

[Kelly6]

@meetkitty123 well I don’t live there.😊
