EARTHSHAKER!!

Post by Johnny Lunchbucket » Fri Apr 05, 2024 10:55 am

One of my fave pinball machines. https://pinballmachinesforsale.shop/pro ... iams-1989/

Also, any of you guys felt the quake? It was loud and things on shelves were actually shaking for a moment.

Yeah, felt it. Everything a-shakin'. Reminded me of my San Francisco days.

I was in my car- didn't feel it. But my wife, at home, did.

I felt it. I was sitting at my kitchen table. At first, i wasn't sure if it was an earthquake or if it was just the subway going by beneath me, but I'm out in suburbia and there's no subway system here, so I quickly ruled that out.

About 15 secs here in No Westchester - Kappy ran into the
room and looked at me like, 'WTF bro??' The Ramapo Fault line
ends close to here, no idea if that was the earthshaker...

I knew it was Ramapo's fault. It's always his fault.

Yup - felt it here in CT, too. It took awhile for the dogs to go off high alert.

Totally on the South Shore of Nassau County. Pots in the kitchen were clattering and I wondered what in the world could be causing it until I remembered this happened here 13 years ago.
Hope for the best. Expect the Mets.

In a one in a million ABC world News showed live streamed footage of the quake from Boonton Coffee in my town. The NY Times had it on their homepage.

If Marjorie is saying this is God's wrath, she should know that the epicenter was only a few miles from Trump Bedminster. Maybe it was Ivana's wrath. Just sayin'.

I was in Harrisburg at the time and didn't feel a thing. But I'm told our dishes rattled a bit.
Even duct tape can't fix stupid. But it can sure muffle the sound.
