M3.1 #earthquake #NewJersey Higher felt intensity than predictions and strong high-frequencies on seismograms (even in displacement, lower trace) suggest a “high-stress drop” earthquake – fracture in very rigid rock.https://t.co/vHpiIJdxhUhttps://t.co/oImxEKWIkn pic.twitter.com/hzqo6FwXna

You call that an earthquake? I didn’t know the Richter Scale went that low! The house I grew up in shook ALL THE TIME! I almost slept through the ’94 Northridge Quake (55 people died!) and the only reason I got out of bed was to answer the phone – it was my mother calling me from NJ to see if I was okay!
