Members DramatistDreamer Posted April 5 Members Share Posted April 5 Did anyone else feel that this morning? And after marveling at the preparedness of Taiwan, we get rumbling here with a scattershot alert system here, with some in NYC getting alerts 30 minutes late and the rest, nada. Get it together, USA. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Faulkner Posted April 5 Members Share Posted April 5 I thought my building was collapsing. And, yes, the alerts were very late. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted April 5 Author Members Share Posted April 5 Lebanon, NJ was said to have been the epicenter but that tectonic activity was felt all over the NYC metropolitan area, the tri-state (including CT) and down the Atlantic to Philadelphia. https://www.nytimes.com/live/2024/04/05/us/earthquake-new-york 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted April 5 Author Members Share Posted April 5 Do you live in a pre-war building? I used to live in one and I loved the high ceilings but I doubt many pre-war buildings are reinforced structurally. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faulkner Posted April 5 Members Share Posted April 5 I do, yeah. In Washington Heights. And it was super frightening for that very reason. I jumped into a doorway, but I doubt that would have been helpful if the building was crumbling. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Soapsuds Posted April 5 Members Share Posted April 5 Glad everyone from SON is safe. @AbcNbc247 was on earlier this morning before earthquake hit. I hope he's ok too! It hit directly in his area. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AbcNbc247 Posted April 5 Members Share Posted April 5 Please register in order to view this content Thanks! I’m fine. I was in my office in Lower Manhattan when the quake hit. I didnt know what it was at first, but then when I heard my coworkers talking about it, I knew what was going on. Actually, as I type this, I think we just had an aftershock. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faulkner Posted April 5 Members Share Posted April 5 Yeah, people are saying on Twitter they felt it. I am traveling now so I’m not there to witness it like this morning. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Soapsuds Posted April 5 Members Share Posted April 5 @AbcNbc247 Glad to hear you are ok. Be careful with those aftershocks. Can't believe an earthquake in NJ of all places. Of course we had one in Texas a while back. I remember sitting in my chair and it moving around on me. Later I found out I live close to a fault line. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
