That is strong enough to make things fall over. I don't think it was that string in Queens. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if you are going to compare it to quakes that destroy roadways, sure but this wasn't a little Tremor. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE BARON Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 Just now, More Cowbell said: Well if you are going to compare it to quakes that destroy roadways, sure but this wasn't a little Tremor. The crust here is regular, so earthquake energy travels pretty far without losing it's gusto. That is why tiny quakes here seem like bigger ones. The energy released at the epicenter was still minor as far as quakes go. 4.8 is a ground fart. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dcat Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 4.8 epicenter in the Tewksberry area. My house shook and rumbled for like 10 seconds. I could see the walls and my deck shaking. Never felt anything quite like that. Had no idea what it was. I thought all the wet soil made a large tree fall on my house and it felt like it was slowly rolling off the roof. Ran outside, but nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ran outside, but nothing. Everyone in the office I work in vacated. They are back in now and still yapping about it. So long as no injuries or tax money sucking damage, it was exhilarating experience. I liked it. Right up there with experiencing thunder that is directly above you. The crackle that sounds like wood splitting can be heard before the massive boom. Exhilarating. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can feel the drastic changes in air pressure. And, the sound. The closest thing I can compare it to is standing close by the tracks when a freight train is passing. Quakes, twisters, freak waves. When the Earth dances, gotta hope you are someplace else. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
