Sheesh my Heart just skipped a beat. Just as I was reading that graph my city started blasting Tornado sirens (testing them I guess) lol.

But yeah, a 4.8 isnā€™t much. But hell I bet it was pretty terrifying for those in NYC high-rises.

That would be my fault. I was organizing my video game stuff and accidentally dropped my original XBox.

Big grats for real data. Iā€™ve seen posts that 4.1 isnā€™t a big deal, but it depends on the epi-center and the local infrastructure; age, type, etc. If the epi center is directly under one of the 7 bridges in/out of NYC, they need to be checked

I was in a 15 story building in So. Cal. when a smallish earthquake happened. The building did exactly what it was supposed to do, that is, slide just a bit on its foundation. The result was an intact building and a slightly motion sick me. LOL.

Live about 45 minutes outside of Philly and didnā€™t feel it, but my son at work 15 minutes from here did and others in town did. I think itā€™s just my buildingā€¦I rarely hear thunder when it happens too. :smiley:

Felt it here in Baltimore Maryland.

Here in NYC, it reminded me of the ones I felt in Fresno years ago. Like a really big rig rolling by.

Sorry, I was backed up for weeks and finally got it out todayā€¦
