  1. Yeah like I said in the main thread, you should be northeast of a line from Syracuse to Watertown-- and the further east the better.
  2. I'm so sorry, I lost my dad 10 years ago, and life has never been the same since.
  3. I think using the national blend of models is best, the blending seems to improve the accuracy.
  4. I would say that's probably wrong unless you head to Plattsburgh it's probably not going to be good at Syracuse (maybe Watertown will be better.)
  5. This felt stronger than the 2011 quake (which was centered further south.) I felt that gust of wind right at the start of the aftershock, but then the wind stopped and the aftershock kept going lol
  6. I saw that day in 1783 was particularly destructive with two foreshocks and an aftershock in addition to the main earthquake-- I take it none of the foreshocks or aftershock registered as 4.0 or higher? and I see that 1938 had a series of quakes a few weeks before the big hurricane too, wow.
  7. Didn't dream of you having to put together such a list, Don. Was there a 5.5 sometime in our past? ABC listed that as being the strongest quake to hit our region in recorded history. It would be interesting if such quakes became more common going forward (for whatever reason including higher large rainfall events.)
  8. Baltimore reminded me of The Mothman Prophecies. That was based around another bridge collapse and the happenings around that time were creepy to say the least.
  9. Yeah this registers a 0.8 on the Long Island Traffic Index
  10. I feel like there was an aftershock stronger the original quake a few years ago in California.... just going by my memory, of course such a thing would have a higher chance of happening there. This was a 4.0 following a 4.8 which itself had only a 10% of happening.
  11. Maybe one of these days we'll have computer models that predict when and where earthquakes have a higher chance of occurring.
  12. somewhat more powerful than an eclipse
  13. why aren't we in an earthquake warning?
  14. a building in Newark deemed unsafe and also cracks visible in driveways and on the roads.
  15. I literally just felt another trembling-- I don't know if it was an aftershock or just this wind that's still gusting, but I don't think it's the wind because I just felt the floor move a little under me as I was sitting down.
  16. Wow, it was completely different down here, this one felt MUCH more violent and lasted MUCH longer, I was never scared in 2011, while with this one I felt like the walls were about to collapse and different parts of the house were shaking differently and it came in multiple waves.
  17. Sometimes they go by so quickly and you don't realize it's an earthquake until after it's over. This was not one of those. It lasted long enough so that you knew it was an earthquake while it was happening, sort of like a slow motion train wreck, plus I noticed the shaking moving from one side of my house to the other and it was a violent kind of shaking, like some giant was holding my house in his hands and shaking it vigorously from the outside.
  18. Probably the earthquake was responsible for that on the first date lol
  19. and then two days of rain Wednesday and Thursday? I hope we resume our warmer sunnier pattern after that!
  20. I wonder if we can have tsunamis on lakes though? Or is there a different word for that? A seish (spelling?) In August 2011 I was actually getting ready to take a bath when that earthquake happened and my bathtub was full of water and I heard the water sloshing back and forth from the other room.
  21. Definitely a lot scarier and longer lasting than the one in August 2011. In what year was the first one you felt?
