Earthquake! New York Tri-State Area Hit by 4.8 Rocker, Rare and Unexpected: Felt Like a Truck Rumbling By

Share

As you know by now, New York has been rocked!

We had a 4.8 earthquake around 10:23am, one hour ago. They say people felt it as far away as Baltimore and Philadelphia.

I’m up in Connecticut today, about 65 miles north of Manhattan. I felt it immediately. The building I was in is near the highest point on the Eastern Seaboard, about 10 miles away. The building shook like mad for about 7 seconds. I thought a truck was rumbling by on the main street.

At first there’s disbelief because earthquakes don’t happen here. But I’ve been through a few in California and know the feeling well. Back in 2005, I was on the top floor of a hotel in Los Angeles when something similar happened. It was very jarring.

Well, God is mad at us. Why? Because of our sports teams? Trump? This was a warning!
