5.8-magnitude earthquake felt in Nashua, Boston area

[gpit]

I was sitting on 2nd floor in an office 60 miles south of Manhattan today, and an unexplainable wavy movement of my grand chair crept up, and I thought my heart beat was extra ordinarily strong today, event causing my chair to throb. Unconvinced, I saw my window curtains behaved like a pendulum... LOL!

i wonder if the die hard right-wingers will accuse earthquakes of being radical Muslims!

No worry. Someone’s going to invoke yet another state governor's prayer.

Felt a nice 10-20 sec shakeup in Toronto as well, first I thought it was the lunch I ate but then whenever everybody started getting up I knew it had to be more than that lol

People in Toronto claimed they felt something. I didn't know it happened until I saw the news.

We had a news report in the evening. Some lady was going on about how some aspirin fell off of a drugstore shelve.

Does earthquake affect precision/delicate industries?

Like semicon chip manufacturing etc.

there was some over-hype and drama over it....


in all honesty though, shook my place up pretty good. In the link i posted earlier, the National Cathedral took some damage; unfortunately

The Earth knows what it needs to do.

Joke ofcourse, I hope no one was hurt.

It's big news in the U.S. because that area is very stable... earthquakes are almost unheard of.

That was probably 5,000 years of tectonic stresses let loose. The area will be stable for another 5,000+ years.

We on the east coast are pretty lucky in that regard. No pacific "ring of fire"
