I love the reactions of New Yorkers in an earthquake. It's like deer in the headlights. It was a shallow quake so people definitely felt it. I saw the videos. It would be scary in tall buildings if you are high up.

You know what the say, the best thing about NJ is the view.

An old friend used to live in Hoboken when it was still trendy and the view of the NYC skyline was impressive.

If you're from the area, you might remember the restaurant at the top of one of the WTC towers - Windows on the World. Had the chance to go there a couple of times. Also an incredible view.

Rooftop swimming pool in Taiwan. Any Jersey swimmers?

i was on the top floor of a new apartment building that we where renting in the Philippines when we got hit by a 6.5 , dad and i just laughing our asses off while two of the locals turned white as a ghost (found out later that these apartments where new because the previous ones had crumbled during a recent (20year) earthquake)

The only other experience i have is a few in the Dominican Republic which i could barely feel yet moved the walls enough to leave a fist sized gap

I was on the fifth floor of my building near UCLA and in the top of a rickety bunk bed when the Hector Mine quake happened at like 2:30AM. I think it was 7.1 and I thought my roommate was jerking off and wouldn't stop so I jumped down to yell at him and saw the bed empty and realized he went home for the weekend. So I just went back to sleep and then was surprised in the morning when everyone said we got hit by a huge quake until I remembered that. Was like two weeks after my first quarter at UCLA started so was my first experience with an earthquake haha.

Please help get the word out, we are dying here with constantly rising housing prices due to way more demand than supply!

It's just something very out of the ordinary, and because the nature of the crust on the east coast lets earthquake waves travel quite a ways. I remember the earthquake in the early 2010s in NYC, and I believe that one originated somewhere in Virginia.

A 4.8 on the New Madrid will make news. 2s and 3s are common though. In the last 30 days, there have been 17, all under 3.

California is just going to slide down into Mexico - there's a difference (seriously). Let's hope we have a world govt by then or we'll be eating freedom tacos.

Still blows me away that Missouri had a couple of 8s ~two hundred years ago

Still blows me away that Missouri had a couple of 8s ~two hundred years ago

Which caused the Mississippi river to run backwards for several hours. I remember reading about it when I was younger.

Earthquake causes fluvial tsunami in the Mississippi River | February 7, 1812 | HISTORY

On February 7, 1812, the most violent of a series of earthquakes near Missouri causes a so-called fluvial tsunami in the Mississippi River, actually making the river run backward for several hours. The series of tremors, which took place between December 1811 and March 1812, were the most...

They say it caused church bells to ring in Charleston SC.

The Great Midwest Earthquake of 1811

Two hundred years ago, a series of powerful temblors devastated what is now Missouri. Could it happen again?

www.smithsonianmag.com

At 2:15 a.m. on December 16, 1811, residents of the frontier town of New Madrid, in what is now Missouri, were jolted from their beds by a violent earthquake. The ground heaved and pitched, hurling furniture, snapping trees and destroying barns and homesteads. The shaking rang church bells in Charleston, South Carolina, and toppled chimneys as far as Cincinnati, Ohio.

Wrong way. California is going to slide into Alaska. Don't invest too much in Oregon and Washington ocean front real estate. Cali is going to be blocking the view.

And then Charleston had a massive quake I want to say around 1886. I think it was over 7. I'm so conditioned to think California and Alaska when I think earthquakes but Missouri and Carolina had a couple of the biggest ones recorded in the lower 48, and Cascadia in the Pacific NW could very well rival the the East Japan Great Earthquake of 2011 and is overdue since it seems to happen every ~300 years.

Hoboken is not trendy anymore? It's gotten bigger with even more shops / bars / etc.
