dryslot Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Anyone know how long it shook? Curious because I sense my perception was probably way off but it really did feel longer. Like I said here it was a lower rumble/shake which caught my attention...felt like it eased for an instant and then got much more noticeable for what I'd think is 3 or 5 second and then done. Best part of it was every bug, dog, cricket went quiet during part 1, then all the dogs barked. 4-5 seconds i was told here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Typhoon Tip Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 I felt nothing and I am in Ayer Mass, about 7 miles from the NH border as the crow flies. I also didn't feel the 5.7 Mid Atlantic one last year, that was felt as far as Montreal. Man, I gots some serious schit quake luck - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisM Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Just before the main event I felt a strange vibration. Lasted about 10 seconds. I said to my partner, what was that? Then within anothe 10 seconds a more violent shaking. I immediately turned off the TV and opened the sliders to see if I could hear a rumbling or echoing in the hills as it ended but things were silent. Looks like center was about 45 miles east of me. Probably the P waves hitting you then the S waves...two different kinds of shaking or no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typhoon Tip Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 I did not feel anything here. I never seem to luck out with earthquakes or thundersnow. I have never witnessed either. I had thundersnow once when I was a 14 in Michigan associated with LE. I moved to Massachusetts 4,003,123,445 years ago and seem to get thundersnow every winter at least once. ...except last year of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIPPYVALLEY Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Apparently there are no real patterns to eartquakes that have occured in New England since record keeping started. None of the known fault lines are considered active. I remember a professor saying that in a geology class i took back in the late 1980's. The great Cape Ann quake (1750?) was centered off the coast.

wxsniss Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 not to troll, but the USGS.gov site says it's only a M4.0 Wow. And to echo Messenger's point... When only a 4.0 stirs such commotion (headline news on boston.com, made it to drudge, social media exploding, etc.), hard to imagine the impact of a 6.0 in New England Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYCSuburbs Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Didn't feel it in Albany. Missed last year's earthquake as well in NE NJ. Coincidentally, The Baltimore Sun posted an article just 4 hours ago about last year's earthquake and an upcoming earthquake preparation drill in the Mid Atlantic... interesting timing for such an article.
