[...] Best joke at that time was a picture of an outside table and lawn chairs, with one chair on its side and the caption "Oh, the humanity."
Just read a story that some guy in PA was getting a vasectomy when the quake hit. Now that's a great tale to tell.

Just looking at Google Earth, it looks like there's a nice distinct fault running south toward you from the St. Lawrence, through Albany and NYC.
The good news is that the risk of anything bigger in that part of the continent is very small, nice and stable overall.

I was in the middle of a shaving with a straight razor when a quake happened. I just stopped until the water in the sink stopped moving and carried on. IIRC it was around a 6.0.
I was just going to say the same thing Rudy. Hopefully we can sleep without bed surfing. Glad you and the Mrs. are ok, my wife was home while I was near Asbury Park at work, I felt the first 4.8 one down there. Wife said the first one felt strong, the 4.0 aftershock felt like the first one where I worked earlier. My reaction I believe was “not this s*it again” as I sat down for dinner tonight.

...switch up...eat dinner 'under the table' and the use plastic flatware...no mess.
Me too, including the Wittier Narrows Quake and the Northridge Quake. For that one, I was less than three miles from the epicenter. It took us several minutes to get the door open but the pool was still sloshing back and forth.
