Yeah, that was really weird. It was just a gentle rocking here. Never felt one before.

It's kinda sobering...it wouldn't take much of a quake to level NYC, it's totally not set up for quakes.

Endicott NY just had a gentle sway to the ground but it was the worst thing to feel.
Kinda made me want to puke.

There is construction going on not too far away so I thought that shaking was due to that haha. Felt pretty weird.

That was fucking weird. I was about to post a thread immediately after it happened, but thought I was crazy. WHAT THE FUCK?! I ran out the front of my building and asked people walking if they felt that...they looked at me like I was crazy and then sat and were amused by the rumblings. I've never experienced this.

Almost in Coney Island now. I thought that I was getting a spout of vertigo, then I saw that the soap bottle on the counter was swaying back and forth.
