NY Residents Feel Shock Waves From 4.1 Delaware Earthquake


My Apartment was Shaking

Thursday November 30, 2017

At the end of another busy day, I was relaxing on my couch watching TV when suddenly I felt things shaking. My thoughts instantly went to the 2011 West Virginia earthquake that shook my area and apartment, but this time it didn't feel as powerful.

I live on the top floor of a six-story building, where one is more likely to feel an earthquake than on the lower floors, a fact I learned during the 2011 quake. Over the past few months roofers drilled, banged, and drove tenants crazy removing the old roof and replacing it with a new one, a project that is nearing completion. I reasoned that whatever they were doing created a shimmy in my apartment ... until I investigated further only to discover Delaware had a 4.1 earthquake that was felt from New York to Baltimore. Aftershocks are expected in the Dover area over the next few days


A favorite plant that fell off the shelf during the earthquake

I rescued the plant, put it back on the shelf, and hope it will be okay.
I always prepare my plants for earthquakes ... and they know.
This little guy has lived here for years and should survive.
