Earthquake in NJ?

Reminds me of these:

I'm with you. There's a nagger in the woodpile somewhere.

Oh for the love of god...

Trump took a dump?

I live in south Jersey. The ground isn't thawing yet since it's been 17- 20 degrees every night. The 20-25 inches of snow everywhere is melting. I am just reporting what the geologists have said happened. ....frostquake.

A cryoseism, also known as an ice quake or a frost quake, is a seismic event that may be caused by a sudden cracking action in frozen soil or rock saturated with water or ice. As water drains into the ground, it may eventually freeze and expand under colder temperatures, putting stress on its surroundings.

Just don't call me a dumbass when YOU don't have the answer!

im on long island. people here felt it too. not me. we never get them or in the past it was just a loud noise. i remember years ago they would happen daily. it was just noise though

...yes?

I'm in SE PA...about a week ago late at night I felt a weird sensation in my ear and then immediately my dishes rattled for a few seconds...

Felt some minor movement today but no ear sensation or rattling

Does anyone know how far sonic booms travel?

USGS @USGS
The Navy has confirmed testing of supersonic aircraft offshore from where sonic booms and shaking were reported.

I'm sorry...did I talk over your head? Please forgive me, I'm used to dealing with people who have some common sense, that can understand an interaction.

It was a sonic boon you moron. You fucking guys always worry about shit that doesn't make a damn. Throw a real issue up and its like, I'm going to watch TV. I'm too stupid to worry about the real things.

Oh, by the way, the sun isn't in the right place, and I had a dream about the coming Apocalypse

The Ramapo Fault sits on the North American Plate, which extends past the East Coast to the middle of the Atlantic, where it meets the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, an underwater mountain range in constant flux. The consequences of this intraplate setting are huge: First, as Gates points out, “The predictability of bigger earthquakes on…[such] settings is exceedingly poor, because they don’t occur very often.” Second, the intraplate setting makes it more difficult to link our earthquakes to a major cause or fault, as monitors in California can often do.

M5.0 - Central Mid-Atlantic Ridge

I think the usgs was showing more for Mid Atlantic Ridge yesterday.

They are here!

Kindly define a "real issue", if you will.

Seems there was a thread about that too.

Made the doors in our office rattle happened at least 3 separate times. Bohemia Long Island ny. No sound heard though.

Not buying the explanation.

so there was a same incident earlier this week in Charleston SC, on Jan 26

people felt an earthquake or a sonic boom in the Lowcountry about 12:45 p.m. Tuesday.

Viewers in North Charleston, Summerville, Mount Pleasant, West Ashley, Moncks Corner, Goose Creek, Hanahan, Hollywood and St. Stephen are among those reporting windows rattling and houses shaking.

A spokesperson for Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort confirmed Tuesday afternoon planes were in the air at the time of the boom, conducting exercises 15 to 20 miles off the coast.
But it is not confirmed that those planes created a sonic boom reported across the area.

Russian jet sonic booms... Warning to us or at least a middle finger like Maverick did to their mig

Seen a few threads else where talking about loud booms and vibration, so I assume yes.

Yeah, Russian fighter jets off the East Coast. Took off from those new Stealth Carrier Submarines.

Your a real dickwad. You have proof this was from a jet shillmaster?

:clappatrump:

as always, I miss it.
rats.

The ground is NOT frozen.
Not to any great depth. We've been having this el Nino winter, and the temps have hardly ever been below freezing during the daylight.
We only got the Jonas blizzard because a fast moving cold system moved in to dump on us.
Sunday it was sunny and above freezing.
Wedsday eve into Thursday, the air temps only just dropped below freezing.
The only time I ever recall hearing the ground cracking from the freeze was as a child in western Canada when it was an extended deep freeze.

New Jersey’s McGuire Air Force Base does not house aircraft capable of breaking the sound barrier.

While the North American Aerospace Defense Command conducted a military drill in Florida yesterday, it denies involvement in today’s sonic boom. A NORAD spokesperson said they are not conducting any activity in the region today.

However...just found this on CNN:

"An F-35C being tested by the Navy caused the booms, the military said Thursday evening. Military aircraft routinely conduct supersonic flights but the sonic booms are rarely felt on ground. However, under certain atmospheric conditions there is an increased potential to hear the sound, according to a statement from Naval Air Station Patuxent River."

Ii saw no jets, not even airliners.
I heard no roars.
If it was craft they were likely coming in hot from the south Atlantic up the coast.
Probably from a great altitude.
