Cfa Posted April 5, 2024 Share Posted April 5, 2024 Anyone else notice a gust of wind (pressure related?) with the arrival of the quake? I’ve heard this from multiple people in both NY and NJ. The glass door of the building I was in blew open and the roof made the loudest creakiest noise, like it wanted to collapse. I thought a helicopter or small plane struck the roof or something else nearby (I was near ISP). During the 2011 earthquake I lived in Queens, multiple stories in the air, my bed was bouncing and the building started swaying in a way that was uncomfortable. One wall developed cracks. Another quake in 2016, in the Rockaways, with an epicenter about 30-40 miles offshore. It was less than a 3.0 but I felt it and saw things moving. Much weaker than 2011 or today though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today would be the first date on which there were two such earthquakes in the NYC area. 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.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a good quick explanation: https://phys.org/news/2016-08-difference-shallow-deep-earthquakes.html In general the depth between two, from what I have researched, appears that it would not make much difference in the grand scheme. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
