Didn’t see any political things In the postings… Wait until the Bird Flu is running rampant . Europe has already warned of the transmission from animal to human. People will be posting all types of wild things.But actually factual about what occurred… you left that out.
Carole King is great, so is early R&R. I thought it captured the vibe.swing and a miss as Numbers already drove in all the runs with an out of the parker
you'll need to wait till the 2nd game of this double header
No … you and others have experienced earthquakes before . The point is though it was larger than most it was not anywhere near a nuclear explosion . Even you the Great and Wondrous Oz knows that well. Stop making it out to be more than what it was. An unusual occurrence. You attempt to deflect because you know what you said was silly. You do realize what this area looked like millions of years ago. There are mountains higher than the Andes sitting underneath our east coast. In fact at one time the South Mountain Reservation was perhaps the highest in the world. It was an UNUSUAL event. As long as life and properties were preserved then realize how silly your claim was. You must be a joy at parties.Just stop. You're the only one who didn't think it was a pretty big deal , since you were once in a bigger one - congratulations. 99% of the board, who has never felt an earthquake of that magnitude, clearly were pretty wowed by it (way more than a "small rumble" - whole houses were shaking for 20-30 seconds) and for an instant, I'm sure people had all kinds of crazy thoughts of what it might be (as many have stated) before realizing it was an earthquake. Fortunately, it looks like there was no damage, so I assume life will go back to normal. And keep in mind that major earthquakes have struck areas that don't usually get them, including the famous New Madrid, MO quakes of 1811-1812, which were 7.5-8.0 (and maybe higher) and if something like that happened today in an area not prepared for them, it would be an epic catastrophe.

Let’s call it the most devastating earthquake ever to strike the northeast during our lifetimes. In areas which encompass the Ring Of Fire ( the entire west sits in the largest Caldera known to man) Yellowstone. When that erupts someday we can all begin to pray that maybe there is a higher power ?
no you stop with hystericsJust stop.

If you speak to those seismologists in and around Yellowstone we would all realize the quake experienced today potentially is a precursor to larger in the future. We live on a planet with a molten hot core center which can go boom at anytime.Scary for sure but also realize it is a part of this world we live in.When that erupts the Smithsonian Channel will be telling everyone: "We told you so!" They love those "shocking" shows about potential calamities.
I knew this board wouldn't disappoint!I live near a small airport. Yesterday, and most of the night there was almost non stop air traffic. Thought it was some kind of military operation.
Never heard anything like it. So, what did I do? Turn tv on, nope. Turned computer on, came to this board, and voila a thread was already started. Crazy, we all are.
Were you doing the interview or being interviewed? If doing the interview, this is a great test to see how candidates respond under pressure. 😃8 miles south of the epicenter when it hit and was in the middle of a job interview.
Was certainly interesting when things starting falling off my bookshelves and I ran downstairs to check on my wife and daughter
In keeping with your interesting comment -- it felt, in my Atlantic City attic office, very similar to what it feels like when a large truck rumbles by on nearby Ventnor Avenue, or when the wind is blowing big. Maybe a little more up-and-down sensation in my chair, though...please understand that the stress on your typical home in 4.7 quake is far less than 30-40mph winds
DJ has probably purged some posts. And with regard to avian flu, fortunately, it's only transmitted via direct contact, i.e., it's not a respiratory-airborne virus, like influenza/COVID/measles etc. If the virus somehow evolved into an airborne one (very unlikely, as the avian virus is H5N1, while "regular" influenza is H1N1 - very different structures) and it retained it's ~50% mortality rate in humans, it would likely become the worst pandemic in human history. But as of now, transmission to humans remains rare. However, the risk to livestock is significant, as they're often kept in close contact with each other raising the risk of transmission.Didn’t see any political things In the postings… Wait until the Bird Flu is running rampant .

Wow, was wondering if anyone had stuff falling off shelves - we didn't, but you're closer to the epicenter. Need someone from Whitehouse or Tewksbury at the epicenter to weigh in...8 miles south of the epicenter when it hit and was in the middle of a job interview.

Nothing hysterical in my posts. Been simply providing data on the quake and history of quakes. An off-the-cuff comment on what I might have thought for an instant is irrelevant - look at the thread - people initially thought it was all kinds of things, including weather, airplanes, boilers exploding, whatever. Looking at the data, a 4.8 earthquake (2nd biggest in NJ history) is not trivial and everyone who felt the significant shaking was at least a little bit worried for a bit, especially since this was a very shallow quake which is felt more than deeper quakes, which are more common on the west coast, as per below. As the Princeton seismologist, below, said, “This shaking was violent, strong and long.”no you stop with hysterics
it wasn't bad by any stretch of the imagination
I'd like to say I'd expect more from you but clearly your experience with earthquakes makes you initially think a nuke
you're an embarrassment

Did anyone else think possible tornado for a second or nuclear bomb? I did, just for a split second, but then it was pretty obvious it was an earthquake.
Turns out there's a "Hopewell Fault" in that area - who knew?

Is this for reals?
Biggest quake I've ever felt - house shook for 20-30 seconds and my wife came running into the room I was in and we moved to an interior room, just in case and then we went outside in case of worse aftershocks. Even though the VA quake was bigger, I was further away, in AC, whereas Whitehouse Station is only 20 miles from me. Crazy.
Nothing fell off shelves, though, surprisingly.
My first thought was an explosion too.
The sound was much more frightening then the shaking, imo
I didnt notice anything so how bad it could have been
I grew up and lived in Whitehouse Station for a long time. My very good friend has a business in town still and was outside doing some work outside his store, and said the ground shook and his store did too, pretty strongly. But no damage or anything.Wow, was wondering if anyone had stuff falling off shelves - we didn't, but you're closer to the epicenter. Need someone from Whitehouse or Tewksbury at the epicenter to weigh in...

Probably the case, since I just posted comments from a prof at Princeton who described the shaking as violent.Outside working near Princeton and didnt know about it til I just checked the boards. Maybe you had to be inside to feel it
Strong winds dont rattle entire floors, interior glass panels, shelves, etc. in large buildings. If someone percieves something as a bigger/big deal, who's to say they are wrong?for you all you nannies please understand that the stress on your typical home in 4.7 quake is far less than 30-40mph winds
some of you are embarrassing yourselves
'thought it was a nuke' lololol
for you all you nannies please understand that the stress on your typical home in 4.7 quake is far less than 30-40mph winds
The shaking was modest at best. Nothing fell over, even small things like picture frames or keepsakes were unmoved.Probably the case, since I just posted comments from a prof at Princeton who described the shaking as violent.
I believe that was Professor Pierson of Princeton.Probably the case, since I just posted comments from a prof at Princeton who described the shaking as violent.

Amusing to read such hysteria.
