Who else felt the earthquake in the NYC area, that was wild. From Brooklyn to NJ it was felt...
https://earthquake.usgs.gov/eart…- Magnitude 4.8, wtfwhatthefunk
- I thought the E train just passed by my roof while I was in the can.ok_not_ok
- Wife started yelling at me "what are you doing?" as I'm sitting in front of the computer...whatthefunk
- Felt it up here in southern New Hampshire... thought my wife was shaking the couch and fucking with me then I remembered she wasn’t homePonyBoy
- Lol @commentsOBBTKN
- Lol the fuck you're smokingcrazyprick
- ^ yeahYakuZoku
- Earthquake was def because of the eclipse, Cern, Aliens, Hollywood devil worshipping, tunnels, etcneverscared
- By tunnels you mean the juice?crazyprick
- I felt it in Long Island but, it wasn’t wild. It wasn’t crazy or insane. It was a cute little baby shake. Calm down.monospaced
- flol whatthefunkNairn
- It's called Epicentral Distance Mono https://www.iitk.ac.… I think most learned about it in 4th or 5th grade.whatthefunk
- and so it beginsHAL9001
- Related to the comments, hilarity always ensues when there's a rumble where there normally isn't one.garbage
- When I was in college in the south, we had a 4.6. I slept through it, but woke up to my dorm mate sleeping in the hallway.garbage
- He had been drunk the night before, and this school has been around since the late 1800s. So when things started bouncing around on his shelves..garbage
- ..he came to the obvious conclusion: "GHOSTS".garbage
- I was trying to talk him into going to see a counselor because I thought he'd lost his mind. Then I saw the news, and just made fun of him endlessly.garbage
- in NJ near a quarry, normal blast is 2-3 secs of rumbling/house shaking, once this went on for 5+ secs I realized - holy s earthquaketimeless
- @timeless Ironically this university is near few quarries, but far enough removed to not feel the blasting. But also: perfect username.garbage
- @what, I grew up in California. I knew about this and had many experiences with earthquakes many times before I was in 4th grade.monospaced
- From my experience of actual real earthquakes, this was a tiny little baby one, about as mild as it gets.monospaced
- As someone who's never experienced an earthquake, I imagine even a tiddler would rock my world. So to speak.Nairn
- Cracks fingers, incoming TL:DR notesgarbage
- You don't really notice a 4 or so. They just happen. Seattle has its own vault lines, but also a big sleeping beast out west under the water.garbage
- The Cascadia subduction zone. When that slips, everything here will be fucked. They estimate it pulled a 9.0 a few hundred years ago.garbage

- When that thing goes off again, it will be felt in Asia. It is unclear if any seismic activity will trigger Rainier, which is "decade volcano".garbage
- Meaning it's considered one a handful of "that heap of rock is going to fuck everyone up", considered deadliest stateside if it goes off.garbage
- @mono it was the calm down part of the comment, for those closer to epicenter of 4.8 it felt wild, for you to dismiss that is curious for someone 100 miles awaywhatthefunk
- 50 miles, and I’ve been at the center of much larger ones. Jesus Christ. Calm down!monospaced
- It was not “wild.” It was mild. It caused no damage or injury. I guess if you never felt one before you might have that reaction.monospaced
- So, that was my first earthquake Mono, am I allowed to refer to it as having been wild or is there another California approved adjective I should consider?!?whatthefunk
