I remember being woken up in bed by an earthquake while in college. This was 1982 or 1983 outside of Albany, NY. I think it was in the 5s on the Richter scale. It was felt across much of the northeast. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure if it was the same one, but here (New-Brunswick, CAN) we had a 5.7 Jan 9th 1982. But I don't think that would have been felt further than Maine (perhaps a bit of NH) but I could be wrong. I remember, I was just a kid, it was early but i was already up. My mother ran out of her room screaming "Is it the furnace?" Except, we didn't have a furnace 🙂 dp Edited April 5 by dpostman 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been here since 92, but originally from Bathurst in Northern NB. About an hour away from Miramichi where that 1982 earthquake was located. dp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything vibrates including my insides. A few people on the news have likened it to a low flying plane/helicopter or a train or large tractor trailer passing by. It did at first but - not to sound like an attention-getting drama queen - towards the last few seconds, there was some very sharp & abrupt shaking of the house. More than just vibration. I'm mildly surprised there are no cracks in the wall or foundation. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monday’s game assured that he will have averaged a point a game for 19 straight years. That is quite an accomplishment, it speaks to his consistency. Just bought my Ranger playoff tickets for rounds 1 & (hopefully) 2. Fingers-crossed, I don't see Sid the Kid. He's a Ranger-killer. Alex Ovechkin is 46 goals away from breaking Gretzky records for career regular season goals. If he can keep up his current pace, that's about a 1 1/2 seasons away. I wonder if he's going to play into his 40's to set a new record? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little late on the wishes, I've spent the last 2.5 days in the bathroom or bed with stomach flu. Broke my fever this morning and slowly getting back my strength. So far everyone that was here Sunday for Eric's BD and Easter is fine. Going to try to make it to the office tomorrow. Stay well😊 I'm sorry you've had a rough time but glad you're on the mend. Feel totally better soon. 6 hours ago, DaniDanielle said: Very scary. My brother said his whole house shook. Charlie felt nothing in the kitchen but I was on the couch and it went crazy for a minute….. My daughter in NJ said it was "freaky" and thankfully everyone is fine, no damage. @dani negreanu Dani, glad you're on the mend. So sorry it's taking so long to recover. Continued Refuah Shlema- A complete recovery. 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Ozark_Kid Posted April 5 #118568 Share Posted April 5 When we lived in NE Arkansas we felt a couple earthquakes in 4 years from the New Madrid Fault. Since we moved to NC Arkansas maybe 2 or 3 in the last 38 years. I don't remember one in the last 25 years. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t get it , either. I googled it and found it on Reddit. In defense of HBE4 and myself, it was a little obtuse. Anyway, I was wondering about you since it had been a few days since you had posted anything. I know , you wouldn’t just leave without saying goodbye like some have done. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Ozark_Kid Posted April 5 #118570 Share Posted April 5 (edited) Two weeks ago I was home alone and about 1pm I heard a load bang and the house shook. It sounded like lightning hit the house but it was sunny out. Later we read many other people heard it. Noone knew for sure what it was. Some guessed a military training plane breaking the sound barrier. The plane they described sound like a refuel plane that would not break the sound barrier. I remember in the 1960's we would hear the booms from planes in Columbus Ohio. They later stopped the planes from flying low over resident areas.

Rare Momof3gurlz Posted April 5 #118571 Share Posted April 5 @dani negreanu @Sunshine3601 @BonTexasNY - glad you are all either on the mend, improving or fully healed. I was at the grocery store this morning when the EQ struck. Didn’t feel a thing, no groceries fell off the shelves and no other shoppers seemed to notice anything. All three of my daughters (RI, Mass and PA) say they felt it. Andy is headed to Las Vegas Sunday with his best friend, he returns Wednesday. Ali is currently in the air headed to WDW to meet up with Cristina (yes, it’s a sickness with our family LOL). Cristina has a work conference there; Ali couldn’t pass up the chance for a “free hotel” and both have annual passes so according to their “girl math”, this is a free trip 😏. Poor pregnant Jess has to miss out. She was not happy to learn today that baby boy is in a breech position. Still 7 weeks to go so he could still turn. This handsome guy, Ali’s dog Oscar, is hanging out with me until Wednesday. 17 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
