I’ll have to check if he is still posting. Just looked and he is. I’ll have to catch up. I don’t know where you left off. I really enjoyed watching the early videos showing how he rebuilt and repaired Parlay. I think if someone is new to his channel it helps to watch the videos from the beginning so you get context. His latest videos are about him finally crossing the pacific and going home to his native home of New Zealand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akcruz Posted April 5 #118532 Share Posted April 5 The earthquake hit in the town next to where we used to live. Sister in law about 30 minutes north said the whole house shook. Called my son just a but west in PA, he's working nights this week so was asleep. Said it woke him up, not an east thing to do. Crazy, all in the area keep safe and watch for aftershocks. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are outside of Boston and didn't feel it at my house but they are saying that areas like Boston that are built on sediment are more likely to feel it. The Weston observatory shows 6 minutes of movement but it wasn't felt by the people there, just recorded by their equipment. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lenquixote66 Posted April 5 #118537 Share Posted April 5 I just heard on ABC News that there is a 46 percent chance of aftershocks for the next 7 days. One of my daughters who teaches in a LI HS just texted and said that the school is on lockdown. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HBE4 Posted April 5 #118539 Share Posted April 5 (edited) Yeah, that earthquake was a bit freaky. I'm about 75 miles from the epicenter as crows fly but the fault line that it occurred on runs through the northern NYC suburbs, probably 12-15 miles away. Not sure if that amplified it but it lasted a good minute, maybe a bit longer. I was sitting at my laptop in my home office when I first noticed things around me start to shake a little bit, like the leaves on a plant in front of the window. First thought "That was a really strong gust on wind". Just then, the oil burner directly underneath my office kicked in as others items around me started to shake even more, like the coffee in my cup. Then a low rumble that got progressively louder and finally I could feel the floor move sideways and the walls shake. Second thought "My oil burner is going to blow". Which I think is impossible but I still headed for the door when the third thought dawned on me: "Is this an earthquake? Do I go outside, stay inside, lay on the floor, sit in a bathtub, where is Leonard?" All in about a Milli-second. No damage to report around the house & Leonard is just fine. Spent the last few hours watching the news. Edited April 5 by HBE4 9 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaniDanielle Posted April 5 #118541 Share Posted April 5 I thought it was my washer going crazy until I realized it wasn’t on😳My poor daughter messaged me from her room, walls were shaking bed jumping! My brother was a nervous wreck, he was home alone. His whole house shook. So no California for us🥴 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ocean Boy Posted April 5 #118543 Share Posted April 5 This all sounds mild compared to when a helicopter flies over the office as it is landing at the hospital. Everything vibrates including my insides. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tha's when I began to get nervous & just like that, it was over. It was just me & Leonard. My step-daughter was at work & never felt a thing. Our friends on the Left Coast are probably scoffing at us right now. "Just a 4.8? Amateurs!" 😄😉🙃 2 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mafig Posted April 5 #118550 Share Posted April 5 I emailed my son who lives in New Jersey, but he's traveling so he was away from the quake, but my daughter-in-law was home and felt it. She said it felt like a train going through the house. They live in Asbury. (Not Asbury Park). When I lived in Long Valley, NJ, we had some minor earthquakes in the early '70s. The sound was more like a crash, not a rumbling. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
