Good morning from Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn...
I was on the phone with a friend when the house started to shake.
I thought a big plane must be really low overhead (very rare) but
then it went on for about 30 seconds. Mostly, I felt it and heard
glass cabinet doors shaking back-n-forth. Pretty freaky when we both
said what is going on then realized it was an earthquake. I missed
the last one in Brooklyn, 15 years ago, as I was on the road and did
not even feel it at all. Thankfully, we do not have strong ones like
those who live around the 'Ring of Fire'.
Pretty cool event,

Wayne ..... don't count those chickens just yet. If the New Madrid fault decides to let go Big Time in your lifetime, the devastation in NJ will be unimaginable, even though you are over 800 miles away!
I once saw a program about the 'New Madrid' earthquakes.
Shattering, to say the least. Let me see....9/11, Great
Recession, The Wuhan Flu, and now this. What's next, a
visitor from another planet? Peace on Earth? It wouldn't
be boring.

Aren't they something. Experienced one back in the 80s, in Detroit at Tiger Stadium during a game.
It sounded like everyone was stomping their feet but nobody was moving, the pillars and upper deck
were. We found out what had happened when we got home. Not cool.
My colleagues on the 65th Floor of 3 World Trade said they barely felt it.
Down under here in New Zealand i have lost count of how many i have felt .
Guess that is what happens when our country is built on a fault line from bottom to top
Cheers

We felt it here in Connecticut, too.
I heard a little rattling and didn't think much of it.
Simone was resting and said our bed and TV shook a little.
