Earth quake in the north east ,Jersey ,New york , Pa.

Quakes....no big deal (unless your name is Fukushima!)
The only "big deal" quakes in my lifetime were the '89 Loma Prieta and '94 Northridge...and that's if you were near or in those areas at the time. Everything before or since is just a little shake rattle n' roll for a few seconds and that's it. By the time you realize a quake is happening, it's over....
Compare that to the poor folks dealing with tornadoes and hurricanes on a yearly basis....or being stuck under 5 feet of snow? Fagettabowdit!
In other words, deal with it ya lightweights!:D:D:D

Let's get something straight... right here and now... it was NOT a NY earthquake. IT WAS A NEW JERSEY EARTHQUAKE. Hell with them New Yorkers... Epicenter was in central New Jersey. Hunterdon/Somerset border. My house shook, I thought a military chopper landed on my roof. Aftershock around 6pm. Well, pardon us, you Californians :) we may have a small state in comparison, so we have small earthquakes !
 
it was only 3 miles deep....... I think that makes a 4.7 seem a little stronger; but I'm 80 miles south and didn't feel very much

That's cause you had your DA in your hands and didn't make any difference ! :)
 
My house is about 2 miles from the epicenter and my son was home, he had to pick up a couple of objects that fell and our cat wouldn't come out of the basement for 2 hours. We had a aftershock about 6 pm of 4.0 and e0 minutes ago at 6:46 am a smaller aftershock. I was in a garage in Peapack about 5 miles from epicenter and it felt like my feet were stationary and my shoes were moving. I thought a train had derailed at first as the rail line was only 1/8th mile away.
 
What I am having a hard time wrapping my head around on this quake, is that the press is just saturating the media resources about how this quake upset the natural order of things. Continual posturing about this and that when it was just a slight "bump." If one has never felt a big one, then all others are short of being "a good one." We in the West are always getting bumped and we just roll with it until we get a really big one. Which we have had!!! Also, the largest and very big quake happened in the years 1811 and 1812 on the New Madrid fault line which runs north and south along the Mississippi. The 1811–1812 New Madrid earthquakes were a series of intense intraplate earthquakes beginning with an initial earthquake of moment magnitude 7.2–8.2 on December 16, 1811, followed by a moment magnitude 7.4 aftershock on the same day. It is said that the quake moved and shifted the Mississippi River to flow backward and establish Reelfoot Lake. Now that was a very large bump!!! cr8crshr/Bill:usflag::usflag::usflag:
