This just in:
At first I thought it was intense wind blowing on the house but then it got too intense. Evidently there was an earthquake in NJ that was felt here north of NYC as well. |

Isn’t it fun to live on a tectonicly active planet?
(Damned if I can spell that. Maybe it isn’t even a word).

Living on the east coast I have heard earthquakes before but not felt it like this one. It was only 4.7. More powerful ones must be really scary.

I have family members in New York, New Jersey, and even in Massachusetts who blew up my phone with text messages about it (on a group chat). Yes, tremors were felt as far away as Massachusetts!

The epicenter was 27 miles from my house, so Mrs. big_load got the full experience. There was an aftershock this evening that she said was as loud as the first one, with similar motion.
I'm on the road, so I missed it.

I think I heard the aftershock around dinner time. I wasn't sure. This time I thought it might just be a helicopter. If it was an aftershock then at least here it wasn't as loud. |

She said it was around 6:30. ETA: NYT says the aftershock was around 6 pm, magnitude 4.0. |

I didn't feel it here in Syracuse, but just this morning I noticed one of our pictures on the wall was quite askew. We will rebuild!
