Latest Earthquakes

4.8 in Lebanon, NJ. So less than the Virginia one that was 5.8, but closer. When that one happened I think it was explained it reverberates a greater distance because of how solid the bedrock is or something.

I did not feel the earthquake

 

[BigToe]

That was fun

 

[Halladay]

My parents are still in South Jersey and they just texted saying they felt it. I was there in August of 2011. That was a weird feeling. There was a really big earthquake in Taiwan the other day.

Truck drove by me as I sat in the parking lot and I thought it was that.

I thought it was our dryer, so there's that



4.8, that's pretty sizable

From a geological standpoint, it's always pretty cool to experience these passive margin earthquakes.

Anyone with natural gas, keep your noses peeled for any smells. While it's unlikely, if you have a faulty pipe, the vibrations could have jarred the connections loose.

Did everyone's dad already make the "sorry, i farted" joke

I remember a minor one we had years ago in the Greater Montreal Area. Just rattled the dishes in the cupboards. The notable memory thing was that we were watching the 6 pm news at the time, the earthquake was during a commercial break, and when the announcer came back on she said, "Yes, what you just felt was an earthquake."

Of course they’ll say it was an earthquake. They’ll never admit it was bird related.

Truck drove by me as I sat in the parking lot and I thought it was that.

Also thought it was just a big truck driving by. I'm in a massive building though. Smaller buildings and houses I imagine it was a lot more noticeable.

I remember the last one (2010?2011?) being much more intense.

Yeah I was working at Best Buy at the time and eating lunch in the break room. Entire room shook violently.

It was Flahr tripping over a pizza box on his living room floor...

Dishes rattled here in lower Bucks Co. I was on the upper eastern shore of MD for 2011. My parents house really shook. An inner wall was waving back and forth, and my wife swears she saw a wave go through the floor.

 

[Embiid]

Cue in all the solar eclipse conspiracy theorists although the MidEast situation and a possible Iranian response and spillover into Lebanon has me wondering....

 

[DayoftheGreek]

Of course they’ll say it was an earthquake. They’ll never admit it was bird related.

They are freely admitting it now

 

[Striiker]

They are freely admitting it now

THEY KNOW THEY CANT HIDE IT ANYMORE

WORD HAS SPREAD

It's weird how these things work. I'm about 45 minutes or so west and north of Philly, and I felt nothing. My mom said in the family group text that people felt it in Lancaster, which is another hour or more west, but closer to the southern state line like Philly is.

The 2011 one I was working on a porch roof and definitely felt that one as the whole roof swayed.

 

[DancingPanther]

I slept right through it. Snoop didn't though, he whined at us for 15 mins afterwards. Only when I checked my phone did I figure it out. Coincidentally that's also when I saw the Phillies city connect uniforms for the first time. I wish I never woke up

 

[trostol]

i felt it..it woke me up...so i went and took a leak and went back to sleep

I didn’t feel it here but my sister said people she works with in NYC felt it.

 

[trostol]

Anyone know what this big glowing globe in the sky is? Lol

 

[Beef Invictus]

Only going to be 2 nights before off to New York. But yeh, seems like a lot to do there!

This year is shaping up to be potentially a crazy one in terms of work travel...

a chance I will be going to Manaus in the Amazon in September.

The most interesting work trip I had before this year was probably to Croatia years ago or Madrid 2x last year... 90% of trips are Belgium, Netherlands or the UK aha.

Get a crabcake in Baltimore

 

[Jack Straw]

Damn. Pretty sure I just felt an earthquake. 2 hrs north of NYC.
