It was pretty cool! Makes me miss California for sure! Doesnt happen too often here in NY. tongue.gif

Registered in as a 5.5 on the scale.

 

Cool. Yeah a 5.5 is barely noticeable. Our last one was a 7.6 IIRC. I haven't been in a really big one yet though.

Some people said they could feel it here. I was sleeping so I have no idea.

 

i have never experienced an earthquake.

 

AH HA HA HA HA HA HA HAAAAA!!!!!! Welcome to my world!!! Although the difference between my earthquakes and that one is ours are caused by plates shifting who the hell knows why that one happened. Scary thought is volcanic activity...

 

^ Exactly! Although there is a pretty big fault line that runs through NY....its just not as active as the ones back in Cali are. smile.gif

 

lol... home sick? I heard about it through facebook, nothing on the news. Someone posted a rant on facebook that the major news networks weren't carrying it, then I found out it was only a 5.5 and really no damage.

I would assume 5.5 is nothing for Cali, but structures are built with the anticipation of movement. I don't know if NY is prepared for earthquakes quite as well as the west coast.

 

Apparently this was felt as far south as Hartford, CT. Some people in the restaurant were talking about being evacuated from their office building there. Never experienced the sensation myself, so I have no real input on the situation.
