Every other time we had an earthquake I never felt it. This time there was no mistaking it. Crazy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jman Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 Still it says something when New Yawkers, the most desensitized people on the planet, all snap to attention and wonder what the hell just happened.

Master-Debater131 Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 We can break this meme out again! I wont lie, I'm finding it a little amusing watching people freak out over this. Its a small shake, like really small. Dishes wont even fall small. I know the shallowness and the geology of the area makes it seem bigger, but cmon people. Anyone whos lived in CA, or any active area, wont even slow down for anything less than a 6 pointer. And even then, its usually a minor inconvenience lol. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People are so impressed w the Statue of Liberty but us NYers dgaf we see it all the time. Most modern buildings are built to a standard to withstand most earthquakes. Wont really see damage unless they go well above the normal earthquake in an area. Also, its not our fault that we have seen NYC destroyed by aliens so many times that we are a bit desensitized to it. Learn to fight back already.

We do get earthquakes but nothing close to the 4.8 one that happened today. 50 years being a meteorologist and he probably talked about earthquakes in NYC twice, if that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raptorpat Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 I was on an internal zoom call. Office happens to be on eighth floor and I'm next to a wall-sized window. Alone in the office with a 22 year old. Realized the whole building was shaking, but no one was reacting and everything was still shaking and the dissonance just triggered the panic inside. 22 year old made all the obvious jokes, so I told her it's not my fault I'm not hardened from growing up under the pervasive threat of school shootings like her. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raptorpat Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 The last noticeable earthquake here was 2011 and it was so comparatively small that my being a restless foot-tapper was enough to negate any effect for those sitting around me. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I definitely started getting really nervous when the walls and floors started moving. I left the building, which apparently is the worst thing to do, but I didn’t want a townhouse falling on my head…. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People are so impressed w the Statue of Liberty but us NYers dgaf we see it all the time. I mean, we do live next to the mother of all strike-slip transform faults so it's always assumed we're more used to earthquakes than anyone else on the North American Plate. But, your experience isn't all that different than ours. The primary reason NYC tends to be resistant to earthquakes isn't so much building codes as it is the fact you, by necessity, have to connect your buildings' foundations to bedrock. If the same earthquake were to happen somewhere in the remote midwest, it would likely have significantly more damage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drumpf just fell down, do big boom boom. So is the next one going to be Alaska since the quakes seem to be traveling diagonally for some reason or are we going to hog them all to ourselves and either set the New Madrid fault off or go straight to the standby San Andreas? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
