Benefactor Ancient Coin Hunter Posted April 5 · Benefactor Benefactor Share Posted April 5 (edited) Wow that's weird. Amazing to see it recorded first here on the coin forum instead of the news outlets!

ela126 Posted April 5 · Member Share Posted April 5 I'm in the Lehigh Valley in Pennsylvania (40 miles from epicenter), felt it for about 6-7 seconds. My friend down in West Chester PA also noticed it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heliodromus Posted April 5 · Member Author Share Posted April 5 Someone in NYC happened to be filming inside when it happened ... I think we were all thinking the same thing! 😃 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeandAcre Posted April 5 · Member Share Posted April 5 ...Too true, @Kali (from farther north), but for the east coast, 4.8 has to be pretty, well, impressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furryfrog02 Posted April 5 · Supporter Share Posted April 5 Felt it down south of Baltimore as well. Was sitting at my desk and started feeling a bit weird. Then everyone stood up and was like "uhhh did your desk just shake?" I guess being on the 6th floor of a building makes it not so bad. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ocatarinetabellatchitchix Posted April 5 · Member Share Posted April 5 Felt nothing in Montreal. But why not a coin related to earthquake ? This one was issued to commemorate Tiberius' assistance to the city of Magnesia ad Sipylum fallowing its destruction in the great earthquake of 17 AD in Lydia. Up to 15 towns and cities were destroyed or badly damaged. He agreed to waive all taxes due for a period of 5 years. He further sent 10 millions Sestertii to assess their needs. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furryfrog02 Posted April 5 · Supporter Share Posted April 5 Apparently there was just a 4.4 aftershock about 30 minutes ago. Didn't feel that one where we are here in MD. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't feel that one where we are here in MD. I'm surprised that I was the first person on this thread to use the "shock" emoji. I have a very obvious sense of humor! Anyway, I didn't feel this one either. Edited April 6 by DonnaML 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FitzNigel Posted April 6 · Member Share Posted April 6 I’m currently visiting family on cape Code and felt it up here (very mild this far away of course…) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
