ichi_gami Posted January 17 Report Share Posted January 17 This queen felt some shakin' around that time, but it wasn't any seismic activity...seriously though, WTF? there was an article a few years ago in New York magazinewritten by some geologists about just what would happenm in the metro area if a quake were to hit at each point on the richter scale. Fuck the evacuation plan, that just makes people feel good when the earth isn't opening up! This city gonna crash and burn.------------------"Love does not consist in gazing at each other, but in looking together in the same direction." - Antoine de Saint-Exupery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anthony Posted January 18 Report Share Posted January 18 Minor Earthquake Felt in City JANUARY 17TH, 2001Scientists say seismic activity reported by city residents centered in western Queens just after 7:30 a.m. Wednesday was a minor earthquake that measured 2.5 on the Richter Scale. Mostly Long Island City and other Queens residents, but people from as far away as Manhattan and Brooklyn as well, called NY1 to report hearing an explosion or boom and said they felt the ground shake. Emergency officials in western Queens said hundreds of people called 911 to report the tremors. Seismic activity was recorded at 7:34 a.m. by a station in Palisades, NY run by Columbia University. Seismologist Klaus Jacob of the university says it was a mild earthquake but could still be felt over a larger area because it was a shallow quake, occurring a few miles beneath the surface of the city. The U.S. Geological Survey is saying the epicenter was in the Manhattan and Queens area but seismologists are still analyzing data to pinpoint it more exactly. Mayor Rudolph Giuliani held a news conference in Queens to say no injuries or damage were reported as a result of the tremors and there is no cause for alarm. He says the city has an emergency response and evacuation plan in place for a more serious earthquake, which he now plans to review ensure it is up to date. Two significant earthquakes estimated around 5.0 on the Richter Scale have hit the city in its history, one in 1737 and one in 1884. Seismologists say smaller quakes like the one felt this morning are not uncommon on the East Coast or in the New York metropolitan area. ------------------13 wild years of Junior Vasquez!!!
