That's scary. I am from NJ (I don't live there currently), and the thought of an earthquake was unheard of.

That made for a very weird zoom meeting,.

everyone froze and started looking around.

after it was done, after like 8-10 secs. the producer just resumed talking like nothing happened, lol.

Meanwhile, my downstairs neighbors buzz my door and are freaking out.

God must not be happy with New York.

Pro-abortion, pro-squtter, pro-crime, pro-illegals... yeah, I can see why he'd be upset!

Many people don't realize that earthquakes happen in MANY places in the U.S., not just on the West Coast. Remember the 5.8 one that hit Washington, D.C. a dozen years ago? https://siarchives.si.edu/collections/siris_sic_13014

(I am refraining from making a nasty comment about it not being worse.)

9 miles from the epicenter, 4.8 quake. Right at Round Valley Reservoir. Had been doing dam repair there over the last couple years. RV was a volcanic vent.

Hopewell fault runs along the south branch of the Raritan RV pulls and releases water into the S Branch, South rockaway to lamington to the North branch to the Raritn.

Thought house was coming off foundation. Had been quakes in NJ over the last year, so minor not felt.

Hope RV impoundment is safe, right at epicenter.

What does God think about the Permian basin, then?
