The Iceman Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 weird didn't feel anything in Trenton. I am in a tall building though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stemwinder Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 The tremor was very brief, unlike the quake of a few years ago in VA. I held off commenting because I thought it was an explosion. Am surprised at the estimated magnitude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't feel anything up here in the hills of NW Philly. I know that huge one from VA I felt when I was at work downtown by the river so I would have known the sensation. From what I gathered from that 2011 VA one, not too many if any felt it up here but downtown got hit hard! Also 47F here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ralph Wiggum Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 18z GFS has 3 or 4 threats during the run yet shows perfectly just how we could get shutout in this pattern. Too far East and progressive, too far North, too dry too late developing, then brief moderation end of run walking the r/s line in SE PA. Nothing set in stone obviously just saying even in a textbook pattern it wont always produce. Need the right shortwave and right trajectory at the right time.

Ralph Wiggum Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Parents in N Cape May on Delaware Bay side felt it. Said the door shook and some other stuff shook briefly but they just chalked it up to air force jets from Dover that fly over the Bay at times breaking the sound barrier. No tsunami I guess.

I wonder if it was the same fault line? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't appear to be on the same line as the VA one, which was abutting the Piedmont, and was situated between multiple faults. Since the rock is pretty solid all the way up the east coast, the VA one transmitted energy well up into NY at the time. I saw that the one in Delaware was very shallow (5 miles deep) - https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/us1000bjkn#executive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, and 47F! Felt the house shake and bed moved at 4:48pm very brief 1-2 seconds, had a phone call a minute later and told them i just had an earthquake they didn't believe me. The USGS initially reported a 5.1 but all the news stations were calling it a 4.1, then i think it was nbc weather girl said Delaware had a 5.8 in 2011 that did some damage and this one was much weaker - WRONG! their record is a 3.8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zenmsav6810 Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 I didn't feel the quake out in Finland, PA (right next to the NE extension of the PA Turnpike) where I work. We are on top of some high hills there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralph Wiggum Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 Based off of the weeklies and the LR ensembles, my furnace and heating bills are going to get quite a workout thru the end of December at the very least. Overall cold pattern with brief transient warmups/moderation as the cold pattern keeps reloading. Looks like we get the cold....now attention turns to tracking shortwaves and seeing if we can get the two working in tandem to produce snow. Jury is still out on whether the pattern will produce or not. Cold/dry still a legit concern though I am leaning against a shutout attm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newman Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 Next weekend on Euro looks really close to something big. Almost a triple phase. Still plenty of time for this to go either way as its like 180hrs away. 12z GEFS had a bigger signal for a more amped shortwave for next weekend as well.
