My friend works in Highland Park and was in his truck in the parking lot and didn't feel it either.
OT: Just had an earthquake

I think the condition is called assholeitis.
There were a couple of schools in our area down in VA which were condemned due to the damage they received from the quake.
6ABC did the same. An hour of a nothing of an earthquake was nearly as bad as The View. Remember I said "as nearly as bad" so not as bad but still bad.
I'm not trying to make it out for more than it was but please. Stress from a one directional wind is not the same as a shaking from side to side from the basement up thru the structure.
Nothing is as bad as The View and it's panel of racist.
You’d be the first to complain if you needed them in a real situation and they hadn’t shown. lol
That's funny. I am a member of my local fire department. I'd be the one responding. Zingadah!
Numbers was clearly just expressing a "feeling" (felt like a bomb went off") but the word Nuke has some freaking on him. Even several I am usually with 98% of the time.
I was on Zoom call and my monitors and floor starting shaking I though it was my son walking heavy down the stairs at first but then knew right away it was an earthquake. My associates in New Hampshire felt it as well.
sorry. "gaping" is too strong a descriptor. If you've never had "gaping" assholeitis you don't know what you're talking about ;).
See now I can testify to two things in this thread. Having experienced a so called "real" earthquake (SF '89 as noted) and also having Gaping Assoleitis at least a couple of times in my life (although somewhat under control with the proper meds). One should definitely not mix the meds and alcohol when treating GAPE A.
I went through a couple of Ramapo 4.5s locally back in the 80s.
One woke me up and I thought it was the alarm.
A 4.8 isn't much with decent construction but this quake was the shakiest and (surprisingly) the loudest for some reason. I felt the shakes and heard a lot of loud rumbling and thought it was a truck.
When I didn't see a truck I thought the furnace might be acting-up.

Because it doesn’t fit the profile of a nuclear bomb going off. Suggest you read a book or two which will explain this was purely a dumb comparison. This is a poster with a Phd. and that makes it more funny.
Our nephew from LA came out a few years back for his first time outside of Southern Cali. Was here Nov- Dec and the first snowstorm - it was one of those 12 ich or better storms with high winds and maybe about 20 degrees out.
He was all excited to wake up to see it(he was in his 20's) and excited to go outside to shovel the driveway- thought it would be like all the TV shows you see...the look on his face when he realized that the cold air and the blowing snow on his face actually hurt. And then 15 minutes in- he had to stop because he said he didn't understand how he can be sweating so much and also so F-ing cold.
So- everyone has their climate that makes them laugh at others...
There are people being interviewed … a family in the same hotel room …two felt the tremor… two didn’t. We have more serious worries going on in the world today.
one of the great things about growing up as a kid in the 60/70's- having those Jet's go overhead and breaking the sound barrier. Those booms made every kid's day. And riding your bikes behind the mosquito trucks. lol
dude, you are the biggest asshole on the board who thinks he knows far more than he does. Your insecurity screams for attention. Hell, you get beat on knowledge in the weather threads by the board's landscaper; let that sink in. As for today, anyone who has experience with earthquakes knew exactly what it was and it was nothing more than a rumble. this was small, certainly not anything that any logical or mature man would think is nuke for God's sake.
you are an embarrassment with your posts. Nuke going off hahaha
as I said, a storm puts more stress on your house that what you experience today so no need to run to your fallout shelter

You can’t expect these folks to understand this fact. Too many are over hyper about things they can’t control. Mother Nature is a unique creature.
That's funny. When I was stuck on the side of the road in a snowstorm (State of Emergency declared while at work) the plow & brine truck just went around me and buried me & my car up halfway up my door.
You are once again missing the point...We are living in NJ, not Cali, Japan, Mexico etc...So, there are very few people with experience with big earthquakes and this will most likely the biggest they ever experience in their lifetime.
And we all know that in the grand scheme of things- it really wasn't a big deal but for those that have never experienced it- let us f-ing talk about it in any way we want to talk about it in our own experience.
I have to admit, my initial reaction was damn, I never should have eaten all those baked beans last night.
As I mentioned above, a guy I know from San Fran..who’s experienced tons..said this was not a minor rumble. At least near me. He said the shaking was much worse than many he’s experienced in SF.
Pretty neat science how minor earthquakes in the east produce much more violent shaking then stronger earthquakes out west due to the rock structure.
After 3-4 years of living through covid19 nonsense… being subjected to a daily litany of crime… murder… theft… a declining economy… declining US educational system… I would be more concerned with those things . People are triggered quite easily . Over the top postings regarding this 4.7 earthquake. People in tornado sectors must be laughing at this … Nuclear Bomb….
Please stop you agenda-driven angry old man.
How does one person mange to embarrass themselves in every thread??
Very clear what’s going on here and it mirrors the CEsspool. The usual suspects attack people based purely on political differences.
Chum the waters and the piranhas will always swarm.
I could care less if it fits the profile of a nuclear bomb and your obsession with it shows some petty insecurity.
"Feeling it" depended on where people were.
In the highlands (on the fault) everything is granite and gneiss.
Seismic waves are different in rock vs soil and don't travel in predictable uniform rings from center - you can feel more 10 miles away
The View should be banned from the airwaves
I already posted my feelings about this one vs. the 89 san fran quake I experienced. Your friend isn't far off if he's talking about your run of the mill quake out there.
(My quessis) SF isn't built on the same rock structure as here and as others have noted they tend to be much deeper.
