2 things.... Earthquake are not part of the deal when you move east... and there are no fault lines in the area...

just spoken to my cousin... he works in manhattan... he said everyone is outside buildings at the mo and taking advantage of a long break... just seems they are a bit worried about the possibilites of aftershocks in the next hour or so |

Then keep an eye on Earthquake Watch. It tells you when they get downgraded and if there are further tremors. Hope they all stay safe. |

The UK has over 20 quakes per year that measure between 2-3 on the Richter scale, we have a 5-pointer every 10 years or so, and 140+ 1-pt tiddlers each year.
We're not on a fault line either, which goes to show it can happen anywhere, anytime. |
