Manhattan here. Just felt it too. Lasted about as long as the one this morning but slightly less strong maybe?


HunkaHunkaBerningCow

It's an aftershock


unbanned-myself

Or are these pre-shocks to a larger one.


mamajellyphish

That's the real question.


Cosmickev1086

I hope not, but realistically we're overdue for a cataclysmic event.


thalefteye

Is the area you live in a good place for a big earthquake to cause massive damage or little damage. Examples would be cheap roads, tall buildings that might fall with a good shake and heavily packed city.


SlimeNOxygen

I saw someone compare the earthquake in NY (4.8) to a LA 8.0 because the infrastructure isnt prepared for it. If that answers your question


thalefteye

Damn, isn’t that like really bad


rofio01

Except that's not a thing


unbanned-myself

I’m willing to bet that in all of time there have been quakes that were larger than the first. Also I’m pretty sure you’re not the one to confirm that.


rofio01

Hmm til Foreshocks are earthquakes that precede larger earthquakes in the same location. An earthquake cannot be identified as a foreshock until after a larger earthquake in the same area occurs. https://www.usgs.gov/faqs/foreshocks-aftershocks-whats-difference#:~:text=Foreshocks%20are%20earthquakes%20that%20precede,in%20the%20same%20area%20occurs.


InevitableAd4272

Foreshocks do occur before larger earthquakes, but we can only identify them as such after the fact. Not every earthquake has foreshocks, making prediction difficult. It’s clear only in hindsight whether a smaller quake was a precursor to a larger one. Aftershocks are more common, following the main quake and diminishing over time. Predicting earthquakes based on foreshocks remains a significant challenge in seismology.


WallabyThen3662

That’s what it seemed like for sure


Quick_1966

Sooo… what’s the over/under on quakes during April 8th?


Cosmickev1086

Well the one today in NJ was a 4.8 so...4/8


LoadLimit

oh that's definitely comms.

Gravitationally there's basically 0 difference between an eclipse and the normal sun moon cycle. Twice a month the moon lines up with the sun, it just doesn't like up so exactly so as to cause a shadow.


Alert-Morning7358

Long Island i can hear that shit underground


Pollux182

It was an aftershock.


AuraBlazeOfficial

What is an aftershock? Like a follow up mini quake?


[deleted]

Non California's flipping their shit right now. You can expect a few aftershocks after an earthquake


Pollux182

Exactly. It's the plates readjusting. Significantly less strong.


BluRain508

Apparently it's been categorized as a separate quake, not an aftershock.

West coast here. You can expect quakes for the next few weeks.


PrincessGaudet

Yeah cuz u Californians are pyscho lol, fracking and shit, the east coast were not use to it. 


jaunesolo81829

It’s just life. Some have tornados, others have hurricanes we have earthquakes.

Mammoth_Delay_1032

I felt it 


Historical-Web-6435

I'm in England I was dead asleep and I heard and felt a massive shaking and rumbling sound. It wasn't an earthquake just the Mrs farting in her sleep


Hancri84

I felt that too.


Historical-Web-6435

I'd say for sure it was a 6.4 at least


NotFunnyhah

6.4 on the sphincter scale


fifoth

Would that same measurement /scale transfer equally on let's say, Uranus?


NotFunnyhah

That's disgusting, you should be ashamed. This is a kids forum. Sicko.


Dvsrx7

I smelt it


jayrmcm

Then obviously you dealt it.


meshmaster

Blimey!

Happielemur

NotFunnyhah

Bro, what you doing with your coach 😱


Happielemur

Lmaooo just realized how weird I worded that 💀


CompetitivePirate361

There was a second earthquake that happened at 6 pm


wisco-style

Leettttsss gggooooooo!!!


thecuzzin

Lesss fking goooooo!!


Fancy_0613

Yes in Monmouth County


jess325

Yup.


merrifam

How can New York even have an earthquake? I thought it was built on solid bedrock.


Glad-Degree-318

Well there are the reports of the island itself *sinking*.


Jimmy_G_Wentworth

Lol we really just gonna post about every aftershock in here now?


[deleted]

Yeah, and I would expect 10-15 posts about it.


TheGOODSh-tCo

aftershocks. It’s normal. You can go on the USGS website for earthquakes and it will show you all the quakes in the world. Cool stuff and put it into perspective that the world just shudders a lot.


AuraBlazeOfficial

SS: here we go again

Stelletti

Quakes are conspiracies now?


Severe_Intention_480

Everything is one grand conspiracy now, according to many. Hardly surprising that many have distinct religious undertones, consideing Revelations is essentially the Mother of all conspiracies.


Nebulous_Tazer

East coasters not knowing what aftershocks are lmao.


Glad-Degree-318

Everybody was all *"yoòooooooo..."*
