Today 5 April 2024
NJ had a 4.7 earthquake on the Ramapo fault. My whole house was shaking and it was very loud.
Pretty wild. Heard the rumbling and felt my house shaking in SJ also.
Taiwans earthquake was 7.4.
Imagine the difference in strength and what that feels like
We have an app (GEONET) that shows earthquake strength, depth and location.
I had to look it up to find when our last similar earthquake was
Turns out we had a few 4.5 - 4.6 shakes on the West Coast of NZ 4-5 days ago
It hardly even made the news over here
4.6 is rated weak.
I’ve been in a 7.4 it was scary
I was on a roof at the time doing an insurance inspection as part of an earlier 6.3 earthquake.
