I felt the earth move under my feet in NYC today. Thank goodness my Brownstones in Indigo Industries are still standing.
We are so not used to earthquakes on the east coast but this is the second one this year. The one we had in January however I didn't feel at all but people up in the Bronx did. The one today I felt it. And it lasted too long to me.
Did any of you feel the quake today in NYC or NJ or PA or anywhere in the NorthEast of the United States?
Well it is definitely safe here at Indigo Industries in Indigo Blue Realm on Wolf Territories.
We have furnished apartments.Transitory housing, free for new residents of Wolf Territories for 10 days while you decide where you would like to call home. 300 personal prims, parcel security, radio, welcoming community. Come take a look. If you want to stay with us after 10 days. Take a look at our Amethyst or Lapis Lazuli Villages.

This is about the 4th earthquake I felt in the tri-state area in my life. Felt 1 in Bronx, 1 in Manhattan, 1 in New Jersey and now this one in New Jersey where I live, maybe 20 miles south of Bedminster, I felt it. Heard a boom first then the floor shook a little. I thought it was a stupid Bucket loader dropping the bucket on the street at first, then I thought, maybe the Air Force booming me with an F-16 Top Gun Airshow like they do here sometimes, then realized, its an earthquake and it's over. it was so deep, and nothing, it was a baby. Knocked a hand grenade off my workbench lol. Some people panic now over the most minor crap. Unusual yes, but the tropical storm the other day was way worse.

Well having never felt it like this one before yeah folks did panic. I mean we are used to hurricanes, floods, rain, blizzards and all kinds of crazy ish. Earthquakes we have nothing in our wheelhouse for the earth moving. And our buildings in NYC aren't ready for any kind of earth shaking lol. This is my fourth one on the east coast one I didn't feel at all. This one was the strongest so far. My apartment building is old so it shook pretty bad. But glad it's calm now although some of the seismologists i do follow are saying for us to expect deeper stronger quakes here. They've been 98% right so far. They even predicted this one about a week ago. They didn't tell us the exact day but estimated and they were right even right with the magnitude strength.

About 15 years ago, 2 giant refinery tanks blew up on south shore of Staten Island, and the shockwave hit my house like a truck. THAT was something I felt. As for earthquakes, we actually get hundreds of them all along the Ramapo fault line. Most are barely detectable. It's nine miles deep. However I did learn something new, they built the Holland tunnel right IN the fault crack, because it was easier to dig through than the bedrock. Unless you are literally being thrown around the room, you don't have to worry. Even the old buildings like I grew up in in the Bronx, can handle as much as a 6.5. Subway surfing (Not on top) is way more movement than these baby quakes and tremors.
What was funny was idiots already were selling "I survived the NYC earthquake" T-shirts LITERALLY 15 minutes after it happened. But Adams and Hookies DIE office in NYC didn't send out any warning or notice until almost 2 hours AFTER. LOL What a comedy shit show that's making the movie Escape from NY seem more like a documentary now. lol

Advice from this California girl! Be prepared the usual. Small first aid kit, some extra water and canned food...meds... DON"T PANIC! Get in a doorway if you can and away from windows. Ride it out! You'll be fine :) I have lived long enough to experience about 5 good sized quakes here. There are thousands all over the country every day, we don't feel them :) Hugggs to all my shaky East Coast friends and all my other friends too!

Thank you Harmony. Yeah East Coasters like me aren't used to earth quakes at all. We had two of them yesterday 4.8 and 4.0 the largest magnitude in 180 years they say so yeah lol not fun for us.
