5 mile depth
There was a significant earthquake out east that was very shallow and not felt as far as it should have been for it's magnitude. That means it shook hard near the epicenter. There will be damage.
Early reports say a 5.1 at a depth of five miles at around 4:55 PM. That is so close to the surface that anything near the epicenter is likely to be damaged. 5.1 is a very large earthquake for this area, the last significant one was a 4.8 if I remember correctly and it caused significant damage to a train station in DC. Still waiting on updates.
Update: Downgraded to a 4.4 at 4 miles depth. That would have shaken the ground hard above it but would have also kept it to a small area.
Update social media reports that it was an explosion with a loud BOOM heard by many people.
UPDATE: DOWNGRADED TO A 4.1 WITH A 2 MILE DEPTH. THIS WAS PROBABLY A NUKE. The shaking was intense and brief at the epicenter. This would be a 3 - 10 kiloton nuke. No seismogram given. But it initiated with a loud boom and everything shook. There was no precursor shaking to the boom.
UPDATE: I have searched as much as possible and there is no seismogram given. Why? They release them for the other quakes, why not this one? PROBABLE ANSWER: It was probably a nuke taking out an underground base. If people heard a boom, it shook bad right above it and quit shaking right away, what else would it be? 2 mile depth? COME ON NOW!!!
HERE WE HAVE IT: "We definitely felt it here," said Master Cpl. Gary Fournier of Delaware State Police. "We have not received any reports of damage at this time. (My) house shook and you could hear things rattle. It sounded like a train and lasted about a second
MY COMMENT: Above to the epicenter there was a boom. Farther away "it sounded like a train and lasted about a second." DING DING DING DING DING!!! NUKE BLAST. Natural quakes are not that short. They first have to shear and then they have to settle down. A nuke just gives one big bump and whatever happens happens. This time it was solid bedrock that did not break, so it was over with practically instantly. Farther away it probably lasted more than a second, because there would be a jello bowl effect. But right above it, on bedrock? One big boom. that's the only way it would ever last "about a second".
And now for some conspiracy talk: This would be the depth of an underground base. If so, let's hope the good guys did this, and that it was not done to stop the current cycle of swamp draining. For swamp draining to work there has to be an enforcement ability somewhere, let's hope this was not caused by an effort to stop it.
We will be able to guage this with media behavior. If suddenly they are not all shrill and defensive and on witch hunts, it will be a very bad thing.
We had better pray the scamming media is somber tomorrow!
I am worried.
If they are emboldened tomorrow, we lost.
If they are somber tomorrow, we won.
If they are neutral tomorrow, the quake was natural. DOUBT IT.
^forget the talk....weird location is really close to epicenter.
