All good. Just freaked out. My mom was kicked out of the grocery store because stuff fell off shelves.

Just had two small aftershocks. So much for calmly sheltering in place.

This would have carried a full swamp day pre-2016.

NH is the Utah of NE.
I can't find the NJ earthquake thread. Would have sworn that was this Swamp.

Heh.
So, the SLC airport has been closed since this morning, though they expect it to reopen. So more passengers milling about in close quarters.
Angel Moroni has lost his trumpet.
I had two glass-framed pictures fall off a shelf and break. And the big map of Utah on my wall is now tilting to the left. (If only.)
But there seems to be little serious damage anywhere, and no injuries. And there's only a 3-5 percent chance that a bigger one will hit in the next few hours. So I got that going for me, which is nice.

When we had ours last summer, that bigger one did hit (though that was the end of it). It's very unsettling/scary. Glad you're all OK.

About 5 miles west of the airport. About 11-12 miles from my house.
(40.751, -112.078 for map nerds.)

I figure this should just be the "Official: Holy fuck..." thread.
Krakatoa erupted.

Fantastic. I guess we can plan for another Year Without a Summer, just in time for Tokyo 2021.

Of all the places I've been the Reykjanes is like nothing else on the planet. It's just nothing but rolling hills of volcanic soil for miles in any direction.

The wife in the family next door is from Jakarta, and much of her family is still there. I'll have to ask her about this.

Sancarlos...you okay? Heard there was a 3.8-4.1 (depending on source) in your neck of the woods.

Centered near San Ramon in the East Bay. I live west of the Bay and I didn’t feel anything. 3.8 isn’t that big a deal unless you are near the epicenter.

Was on a zoom meeting with a colleague in San Ramon...reason I knew about the quake.

The one in 85 was 8.1! It nearly postponed the 86 World Cup but somehow they still had it.

We had a 5.1 quake today, just before noon. Epicenter was just east of San Jose.

Lebanon NJ has it at 4.8 which, when you factor in east coast bias, is the biggest earthquake in US history.

3 days and a couple of hours later would have been better timing.
Anyway have I mentioned that was crazy. Had just gotten out of the shower. Naked earthquake!

I didn't feel it here but a bunch of people in my meeting did. I heard what sounded like a huge wind gust. Apparently that was it.

I’m at my parents today in Southern Jersey, I didn’t feel a thing. If this turns out to be no real damage I’m going to be disappointed.
If it is damage, it’d be scary and potentially tragic, obviously. But if this knocks out my flight Sunday I guess I’m going on a road trip.

Probably his hand, the sick freak.
Shutting down the Holland for precautionary inspection but not the Lincoln kinda feels like maybe its not just precautionary?

Epicenter was near where Oiler got married 5 years ago. It's pretty out there.
