Earthquake

I felt it here. Sent me running outside quick.

FYI, in actuality, NYC won't be that bent by a hurricane. There are few wooden frame structures left in the city. It would be really messy, but nothing like New Orleans or Charleston. The real disaster zone is southern Long Island. Lots of cheap housing, lots of dense development very close to shore, and little to no protection from outlying islands. Most horrifying is that Long Islanders have no way off of Long Island except via New York City unless it's by boat or plane, and nowhere to go.

Yeah, I was actually thinking Long Island when I said NYC - I was multitasking this morning and wasn't interpreting my brain too well. (You should have been privvy to some of my phone conversations at the time - definite "this would make sense if you were inside my brain" territory). :biggrin1:
