Earthquake In NJ

[TBB]

We had a 4.8 quake around 10 AM this morning.   House shook twice - I live in the very Northern end of NJ - 2 miles from the Rockland County NY border  - not near the epicenter - no problems from it.

Until I heard about it on the news I thought @BUDMAN caused it - you know how he gets when he opens the fridge and sees nothing but Coors Light

I remember waking up to that 5.2 quake here in Kentucky 12 years ago or so.

I was alarmed for a couple seconds upon waking because I didn't know what the fuck's going on, having never-before experienced a quake, nor expecting the possibility. 

Then I thought it was a fun, new experience, mildly shaking around with everything else for 20 seconds.

I then read about this New Madrid fault having the potential to unleash a catastrophic level quake some day.

Glad I don't live in an area with tall buildings.

...them poor bastards in Taiwan, having to be rescued from some high rises tilted at 45°...

i live on top of the new madrid fault line and we get several small tremors a week somewhere in the area. as kids we were warned that it was overdue for the "big one" and that the San Andreas Fault is like childs play compared to what NMF is capable of. we just sit and wait and hope its not a record breaker when it hits. if you get an aerial map you can see all the sand boils throughout the land from  all the quakes we have
