Not in New England, but reminds me of a day at work in Sunnyvale during the World Series Quake. Just settling in for a few hours in the lab listening to the game when, shazam, all the equipment on castors started chasing us out of the door.
Just strong enough to feel if it’s quiet and you’re not used to them. Even a relatively small quake like that will get your attention in places where they’re unusual. Kind of a weird feeling, ain’t it? The grounds shakes daily up here, but you wouldn’t feel most of them. https://earthquake.alaska.edu/ (I live just outside Fairbanks)
Yep. Off the coast of Maine. 3.8. That's a mousephart, btw. Given its proximity to the Maine/NH border, I'd like to think it was Weaponsman jumping up and down in his gravesite in glee at Week One of POTUS 47.
Y'all east coasters, my, my. Why, in Seattle we had earthquakes, volcanoes, floods, riots, the occasional dinosaur, and caimans in the local lake! And Canadians! Lot's of 'em, too. 3 - 4-point quakes wouldn't even be worth a thought.
Felt a full 30 seconds of it here in Scarborough, Maine. 10:22 am. Felt like a freight train running through the house. Extremely loud deep low base rumble. More of a high frequency vibration like a compactor than a shake.
Offspring #1 lives 3 miles from Portsmouth International Airport which has an element of the NH Air National Guard based there. She said her first thought was a series of bombs were exploding cuzza the BOOM-BOOM-BOOM percussions. No apparent building damage but the cat was completely freaked out.
Anon@0836: That's a pretty big generalization; might your distance from the epicenter have an effect? The USGS has an interesting explanation of why East Coast quakes are more severe than West Coast quakes.
Was wondering what that burst of rocking was about this morning.

ReplyDeleteFelt it pretty good in Danvers MA - next to Salem/Beverly. Shook the house.
ReplyDeleteWhere in Danvers? I used to live on Roosevelt Ave back in the '60s. Felt a few tremors back then.

ReplyDeleteUSGS says 3.8 off Maine. When it gets to 6.0...sell.

ReplyDeleteAin’t it fun
ReplyDeleteIt was the Russians, watch out for the sunami
ReplyDeleteNah. It's the Chinese digging invasion tunnels with their secret laser-boring machines. Didn't you see "Battle Beneath the Earth?"
DeleteDid they use their new Deep Seek A I boolchit.
Delete4.1 Centered in York (ME) harbor, felt it well West (Manchester) - enough to rattle the windows and shake the floor.
ReplyDeleteI never met anyone from New England that had any feelings
ReplyDeletebwahahahahaha, that was funny shit right thar. Aw, come on, that was funny.
