    Sorry for my ignorance, but how can NY (or any similar location) have earthquakes if it's far from the plate's boundaries?

    Earthquake info

    Hi, I’m located in the epicenter of the NJ earthquakes and I’ve felt every aftershock and quake that’s happened today. I’ve been in fight or flight mode since the big one happened this morning and just have this unbearable feeling in my chest that I need to pack my important stuff and leave. I don’t know if it’s just be being paranoid but I live in a below ground unit and feel like there’s a constant rumble under me…. What’s the probability of a bigger one happening? How long could they go for? I’m worried about going to sleep/letting my guard down

    New Jersey 4.8 quake

    I noticed that there are some Physics Research Labs in the area. Being that a lot of experiments are being conducted around the world on Monday during Eclipse. Is it possible that they may have accidentally caused the earthquake due to their testing their equipment for Monday? Just curious, not conspiracy based. Just curious if something like that may cause seismic movement. Thank you.

    Was the recent New york / New Jersey earthquake due to Induced seismicity ? Because there is no major fault line there. What do you guys think ?

    Same as title

    Taiwan Situation

    From what I can tell on USGS website, there's been at least 2 dozen earthquakes above a 4.0 magnitude since the major earthquake in that region a few days ago. Are these still aftershocks?

    Another quake just hit jersey and very close to me. Anyway to tell the magnitude at my location?

    So when I lived in japan, I was very interested in earthquakes and would check the interactive seismic map every day. When quakes hit, I would be able to check the magnitude of the quake epicenter and the level of the surrounding areas.

    Is it possible to get that info today with a site like USGS or another? I see the shakemap but I get numbers higher than the actual quake rating and they are in MMI. For instance, this morning, we had a 4.8 quake and my location was listed at 5.5MMI, I have no idea what that converts into. I assume MMI is the moment magnitude scale but I don't understand why the number is higher than the quakes rating.

    Historical Data

    Hey everyone I am new to this community we just had a decent earthquake in NJ by day I work in a data position and I was looking online and can't seem to locate a full historical data set for earthquakes from the earliest possible 1800s to 1900s to now in a csv format. I am looking for a data set that includes date, location, and magnitude. Please let me know if anyone can help with this?

    Can anyone tell me what the VIII is representing next to this?

    I live about 5 miles north of the epicenter so I’m very curious about this. It says it was a 4.8 magnitude, but then these two maps are saying different numbers. Thank you!

    Should I seriously consider adding earth quake coverage for my properties? Located in PA.

    Called my agent. Rates go up 60% with mandatory 3x to deductible.
