Earthquake / Northeast US ???

[ClarityGuy]

My house in NJ rattled for 5 seconds, on phone with coworkers in Albany and Westchester NY, they had issues at the same time. This was about 30 sec ago.

We felt it in Detroit, except they just reported Lizzo fell off her chair. False alarm....

The reported epicenter of this thing is remarkably close to Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, NJ.

So it's Trump's fault...again

You were at SLAC? I was at Bowers and 101. Not a good time!

[ClarityGuy]

LOL! Maybe there’s a connection?

Thank you. Yes, this quake shows up my map also.

All: Be aware that the east coast earthquakes occur underneath (and in) larger and more stiff rock areas than those in the fault-strewn California and Pacific Coast areas. A small earthquake out west can shake only a small area before the faults interrupts the motion. Many more quakes obviously by many hundred times more often. But a Mag 4 or 5 quake out west will be felt over a much smaller region than this Mag 4.7 in a very highly populated area around New Jersey.

Only 1 KM deep? That’s pretty shallow I would think.

Mid-Hudson Valley. Definitely felt it. Second floor. Wood floors seemed to roll. Chair/computer vibrated. Lasted about 10 seconds.

That’s very shallow.

Same here - our building was shaking on Long Island

If an earthquake splits the White House in two I will not be sad.

First Taiwan, now New Jersey. It’s those pesky Chinese and their Earthquake Weapon at it again...

Same here on LI

Oh Hell, go for it all, a giant rent in the Earth that devours the entire city into the magma. Let’s go big.

It was very shallow and it would “ring” through the bedrock up the east coast. East of the Appalachian’s there is shallow bedrock with lots of “sand” from the glaciers on top of it. In a BIG one, the sand would liquify and cause lots of issues. That’s why it would be felt for a long distance.

Epicenter very close to Trump’s Bedminster home and gold course
