+susieice Posted April 5, 2024 #2 Share Posted April 5, 2024 I just shook for a while. It rumbled and everything was rattling. That was a pretty strong quake for this area. Our local news said reports were coming in from New York to Maryland. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Socks Junior Posted April 5, 2024 #4 Share Posted April 5, 2024 Did any of y'all feel the 2.2 M baby quake a few weeks ago in the same place? Probably connected, given their proximity. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawken Posted April 5, 2024 #8 Share Posted April 5, 2024 Pretty unusual for the NYC area to have a quake. I always hear about them in California. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Atlantic margin is old and tired and passive, whereas the Pacific margin is exciting and youthfully vigorous. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And people can't see it under 800 ft of glacial deposits under Southern New Jersey. When I show people the magnetic anomalies map and explain that there is a extinct volcanic arc from Pangea's breakup when New Jersey was still sitting on the CAMP they are always surprised. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+susieice Posted April 5, 2024 #12 Share Posted April 5, 2024 Our local news has a reporter in New Jersey now. He says he's felt and heard 3 aftershocks since he got there. People are reporting some damage. Pictures falling off walls, things falling off shelves and breaking. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I show people the magnetic anomalies map and explain that there is a extinct volcanic arc from Pangea's breakup when New Jersey was still sitting on the CAMP they are always surprised. Heck, Lawnguyland is just a big old dump (of glacial debris). The glaciers do quite a job of scouring in some areas, but the glacial deposits can get thick, as you say! Yes, a pretty good record from the marginal rift basins and breakup-associated LIP. The Palisades, for instance. Magnetic anomaly maps are good for looking under the debris! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+susieice Posted April 5, 2024 #15 Share Posted April 5, 2024 (edited) This is all that's on Channel 6 Philadelphia news. They're showing video clips. One was from the UN meeting today. It shook them up too. They said reports have come in from N Carolina. Edited April 5, 2024 by susieice 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably connected, given their proximity. March 14th this happened. Penn State Brandywine has a seismograph that recorded this and they mentioned it on the news just now. At 6:01 tonight there was another aftershock so they are still happening. Not feeling anything so they must be small. What are the odds we will have another sizable shake in the future? Gladstone, NJ. News just reported it was a 4.0 aftershock at 6:01 pm. It was felt by people but not here. I was kind of sleeping but I didn't feel anything so I shouldn't say that. Maybe it's what woke me up. Edited April 5, 2024 by susieice 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Light damage where it hit, like pictures and things on shelves falling and breaking. My stuff just shook and rattled. Media is all over this and everyone is talking because a quake of this size is very rare in this area. Come to think of it, not too long ago, we had a thread talking about how many quakes have hit on the east coast lately.

I went through 2 when I was in California but neither was that strong. This one felt like the first one out there. You could really feel everything shaking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two of my houses had minor damage. However, once the President declared that it was a National Disaster area FEMA paid for all the damage, I didn't even need to use my insurance!
