Earthquakes hit much harder in New Jersey over California because we sit on granite.
Maybe God's trying to tell YOU something, Danny. All those posts about DT being "God's anointed". Blasphemy.

I am sure the people in Allentown, and Philly, were able to feel the quake
Part of it might simply be different people feel it a bit different or could be where in the House or building you are (or a combination of the two). Some people in my office felt it while others 20 feet away from them didn't, I was didn't feel it though was literally in the men's room in another part of the building

In northern MA in a ground floor room the chair felt like it was wiggling a little, so my butt was wiggling and I didn't like that. The window rattled a bit and a large monitor on a plastic stand was wiggling. There is construction around here and a busy road but I knew it wasn't that. I guessed it was a seismic event, just waited for the confirmation of where it came from.

Really??

If you want to play the whole immorality game, then include the rampant lawlessness, lewd sexual practices, and unequal system of justice the takes place. Just because you don't like Trump, don't turn a blind eye to other sin.

Or you could just say everyone needs to turn to the Lord and leave it at that.

Or everyone can just live in reality instead of worrying about mythical nonsense. We have enough real life problems. Such a testament to the low IQ displayed on this forum that we see an earthquake in NJ/NY considered some kind of mythical "punishment".

A weird aftereffect is that every once in a while, especially when in a public place, I feel as if the ground is shifting under my feet like it did at 8:46 a.m. that day. When it happens, I just look around and if no one else notices the ground is moving, I just shrug and realize it's a piece of the WTC I took with me.

"Oh wait, you felt that, too?" LOL

wait, you were IN the bldg????? no sh**? wow, tell us

Growing up in the NY area I remember the one back in the 70's from the Ramapo fault that got people concerned because it ran under the Nuclear Reactor at Indian Point in Westchester. We got a big one in Virginia back in 2011 that registered 5.8 and did quite a bit of damage to building close to the epicenter.
