QUAKE WATCH: NJ & NYC Area. Small quake indicates instability from Sandy. Nor'easter could trigger larger quake

I noticed in another article that the earthquake was preceded by a loud BOOM, then shaking. Wonder if they will try to convince those Jersey folk it was just fireworks!

Happened at 1:19?,,, 9/11.

Thanks Doorbert.

you called Sandy right

and now I am all ears to what you have to say.

Peace.

There was a loud boom and shaking in south Jersey about two weeks before Sandy. Was chalked up to a sonic boom:

Friends of mine said it sounded like a really loud explosion, and their houses shook for a few seconds. Really makes me wonder.

this was my fear.

On my local news here in Cali they talked about the Jersey quake and said it was accompanied by a large boom

5 stars & some green for you OP. Thanks for the heads up.

Very good observation. People dont understand that we are dealing with sorcerers and ritual lovers. None of this is a coincidence and a day to the election? Hmmmm!

Be prepared for liquefaction. Your house may not be the safest place with all the recent water and an incoming earthquake.

May God bless those people and that area!

I guess Syria/WW3 can wait, huh Doorbert?

Hurricane Sandy Will Be Dwarfed by an Earthquake

The Pacific Northwest is at risk for an earthquake that could kill hundreds of thousands—but East Coast officials aren’t paying attention. Winston Ross on the coming catastrophe.

Nice catch!

Wow....good catch. They sure do like their special numbers.

Oh, c'mon.

Amazing research efforts, as usual.

Thanks, DB, for the headsup warning.

We will brace ourselves here on the eastcoast.

God bless.

Did you flunk out of college? Quit high school?

Barometric pressure readings do not cause earthquakes.

Using your twisted logic, then winter storms, cyclones, and hurricanes cause earthquakes. No. Ridiculous.

Take some science classes and learn a little bit.

USGS The agency logged 11 responses from people who said they felt the quake across seven zip codes in New York and New Jersey.

And they said Sandy was Katrina ,, 2.0.

....and then tomorrow is 11/6. Another covert 9/11.

What should we expect?

This would really be an interesting time for Nyc to lose part or all of its upstate water supply from a tunnel collapse.

Glad I live in PA......

it probably wasn't a quake, it was probably something more like more tunneling.

You don't get out much do you.

When Sand was in the Carib, it caused a quake in the Caymans and another offshore Costa Rica.

Irene caused the 5.9 VA quake last year.

Happens all the time. Seen it many, many times.

Low pressure systems cause the plates to rise which in many cases reduces friction along faults.

EARTHQUAKE SUMMARY FOR OCTOBER 31, 2012


Over the course of the past several days there have been continued comparisons between Hurricane Sandy which visited considerable damage and death in the eastern U.S. this year and Hurricane Irene which did slightly less in August last year. This summary has made the argument that the great M 7.7 in the Queen Charlotte Islands was a direct result of Hurricane Sandy hitting the continental shelf near the Bahamas. Some of our readers may recall that a strong, damaging earthquake in the eastern U.S. was also associated with Hurricane Irene last year. This was the earthquake of M 5.9 which hit Virginia and damaged the Washington Monument and the Washington Cathedral among other damages on August 23. It is interesting to compare what this summary said in regard to these two hurricanes on the day the events in Washington occurred in 2011 and the day the Queen Charlotte Island earthquake occurred in 2012.

EARTHQUAKE SUMMARY FOR OCTOBER 30, 2012


Hurricane Sandy made landfall in the New Jersey-New York region of the eastern United States over the past day causing much destruction and loss. Estimated insured losses to business and private property are between $15 and $25 billion U.S. Dollars. About one in every five Americans was impacted by this storm. Over the past several days as super-storm Hurricane Sandy moved up the eastern
seaboard of the United States and eventually made a turn to the west yesterday to make landfall in New Jersey, this summary has been following the associated seismicity. A review of this would seem in order at this point as Sandy, now a post-tropical cyclone over the northeastern U.S. dissipates over land. The associated seismicity was a classical example of earthquakes induced by effects from a large cyclone. As the cyclone formed over Costa Rica on October 24 we
reported:


"A new hurricane - Sandy - formed over Central America over the past two days is moving north over the Caribbean Sea. Low pressures from such meteorological events, when they center over the land mass can relieve atmospheric loading on the land allowing it to rise with respect to the underlying subduction zone. This, in turn reduces friction along the subduction zone faults allowing larger earthquakes to occur. This appears to have been the case yesterday when an M 6.6 in Costa Rica occurred as the low pressure system associated with Hurricane Sandy was located over the area. Sandy has now moved northward and is currently east of the Cayman Islands and near Cuba. The strongest earthquake reported since our last summary occurred today in the Cayman Islands as Hurricane Sandy was passing to the east. While not reported felt in the area, this earthquake of M 5.4 in the Cayman Islands is the strongest located in that area since an M 5.8 occurred on January 19, 2010, a week after the M 7.0 in Haiti which killed hundreds of thousands and the second strongest in the area in the past five years." (October 25, 2012)


The next day Sandy passed over the area west of Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands essentially shutting down the earthquake swarm that had been ongoing in that region since Hurricane Isaac passed over the area in late August. In our summary of August 27 we reviewed the seismicity induced by Hurricane Isaac. Isaac was closely associated with the M 7.6 in El Salvador and a similar event in Costa Rica in late August and early September as well as unusually large earthquakes in the Virgin Islands and the Dominican Republic.

Largest risk area is in the deformed craton region

If anything the quake was caused by Christie taking a walk to his local Krispy Kreme. The loud boom was him flatulating. Common sense folks, no need to cause an uproar!
