Earthquake, 4.8 here in NJ

#1

Post by Ylem »


The whole house shook, we have a military base nearby, I thought there was an explosion there.

No visible damage.

I'm bracing for the conspiracy theories about the earthquake before the eclipse LOL

There must be a connection between the earthquake and the eclipse. Maybe there will be strange portents in the heavens leading up to it..🙃

There was a 4.2 earthquake in California this morning....

We had our largest in decades almost 6 months ago at 5.0

I don't mean to make light of the profound alarm that an earthquake can trigger, but there's this....

I still hope to be imaging during a quake--a small one!--and post it as "bad seeing, California style".

In California, a 4.8 barely makes the news broadcast.
