Irony: Slightly OT Earthquake in Maine tonight

[itjclarke]

My cards have lived through several small, medium and big in the Bay. Several years ago my local bank was at sea level. I deposited my cards in a safe deposit box for about a day then started having paranoid thoughts about them under water in following a tsunami. They're now in a bank up on a hill.

My wife and I felt it here on Cape Cod last night. It felt and sounded to me like something hit one of the supports on our deck and my wife thought something tipped over on the 3rd story deck. Kinda like "what was that?"

It was about the same here in Lowell. (Just a bit south of the NH border) A rumble like big truck outside, not much to be felt.

I was in my rec room down stairs on the computer---my foundation seemed to be shaking or rumbling for 5 seconds---the portland water company was actually on the street fixing a broken water main---I thought they hit something---I went outside to check as did 3 other neighbors---they said it wasnt them--one worker in a backhow felt it---the guys on the grounds said they didnt feel much----I never felt something like this in Portland, Maine---I cant imagine what it is like in California---it sure was different and kind of scary---anyway my feelings from Maine----Don

No word from the cops ehh?

4.6 is pretty mild by our California standards. However, I can understand if you have never been in a quake before, it is a little unnerving. I'll take a quake any day compared to the Midwest tornadoes.

Zeenuts have more experience with earthquakes than any other issue.

Glad ur ok.

The 'damage' of earthquakes is mostly based on where they are. There was one in Seattle that cause a lot of financial damage, but that's just because there were a lot of buildings around. If it was in a cornfield, it would have been no biggie.

When I was a kid I was on the 39th floor of a Mexico City earthquake. The caveat is I slept through it and didn't find out about it until the next morning.

I'm not totally sure but I think I actually felt it a tiny bit last night too, all the way in Suffolk County NY (Long Island). I was sitting, and felt a slight wavy sensation. I can't remember what time it was last night though. I thought at the time it felt a bit like the stronger quake earlier this year that I think started in VA. It was a very light feeling and didn't think too much of it until I heard it on the news this morning and put 2 and 2 together.... (Weird as in 30 years on LI I've never felt one earthquake, now I think this makes 2 this year.

[abrahamrudy]
