It goes much deeper than soil. Might've just not registered in some places due to plate differences?

I felt it in North Haven. I didn't realize that's what it was, til I saw the news on the flat-screen at the gym, 20 minutes later. It happened while I was home checking my e-mail on my way out I thought maybe it was just a cluster of trucks on the highway moving in a long convoy.

About 10 of 2.

We felt it in Wallingford, actually left the building since we thought it was collapsing or something crazy. Found out it was an earthquake and came back in. Even up on the 2nd floor felt it sway, terrifying feeling. D:

500 Year floods, 100 year Tornados, 100 year earthquakes.. We're breaking century old records so chances are high for a 100 year Hurricane into NYC. There are no coincidences.

Speaking of hurricanes... I'll have an update for you by 7pm...

In East Hartford and downtown Hartford we got rattled around a bit. Very weird, I have never experienced an earthquake before.

is it normal for earthquakes to be so far reaching (or the effects anyway)?
