Not to try and make a joke out of your post but I seriously farted right before I typed this and actually considered for a split second that I caused the quake. I am in NJ by the way...

Please dont fart again then, im already starting to freak out with this quake day!

Interesting location, one of the first things I was thinking when I heard this was its proximity to the oil rig drilling that they do- probably not too close just it was something that I thought of.

cheers,
gards.

I hope so, Im just worried about all these quakes and know that its possibly starting around the syayes. I worry about new madrid , because of the amount of people and my family. I hope everyone has a safe night and nothing else happens.

I feel now that with all of these quakes happening, one is going to hit Vancouver,
but when we absolutely least expect it.

we haven't had one since 2001 and it was small, and by accounts, a rare type of earthquake.

I really don't know what to expect with a subduction zone 9.0 potential, in a centurys old metropolitan city thats never experienced that type of disaster.

we are heading into new territory with unforseen consequences imbound, the wise remain wary
