When it was over almost all the pictures in the house were noticeably crooked. It all started with a loud sonic boom type of a sound. a building in Newark deemed unsafe and also cracks visible in driveways and on the roads.

LibertyBell Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 1 hour ago, gravitylover said: Go away I had a much longer affect, 20 seconds easily starting with a bang then up and down with a lateral feel to it. Rattling windows and pictures on the outside walls. I was in the stone sunroom that sits on bedrock so it was probably amplified somewhat compared to a home on a slab over soil. The best part was the sound. It was like a huge helicopter directly overhead and it made my knees quiver. Cool shit. somewhat more powerful than an eclipse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Above ground = meteorology Below ground = geology Maybe one of these days we'll have computer models that predict when and where earthquakes have a higher chance of occurring.

I ask because most of the on air folks I'm watching today seem to be struggling. Granted, they're being asked to make a story out of something which, other than some shaking and the novelty of it, is a not much of a story, but some of it is frankly tough to watch. Nerds know nerdy things, other than that, no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meteorology and seismology share some common ground, yet they represent distinct scientific disciplines. I suspect producers may assume all scientists are interchangeable, but in reality, understanding seismology requires independent study. While an atmospheric scientist might manage to gather basic knowledge through quick research, a deeper understanding typically necessitates dedicated study. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USCG RS Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 2 minutes ago, MJO812 said: 4.0 magnitude in the same spot At least it looks like the main event was this morning and that these are aftershocks, rather than foreshocks (admittedly much more rare).

donsutherland1 Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 Updated list of 4.0 Earthquakes, assuming the current 4.0 rating holds. Today would be the first date on which there were two such earthquakes in the NYC area. 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Halfway around the world in India, where I have some coworkers, they had a 5.3 90 minutes before ours. That seemed interesting, but I don't know if scientifically it really is interesting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MANDA Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 4.0 is a legit quake in its own right around here. Would be a news story even without the 4.8 this morning. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
