A Quake? Where??
by A quake registering 3.8 on the richter scale, hit West-Central New Jersey (specifically rural parts of Milford) at 2:24 p.m. yesterday. After the rattle and sonic boom, it was orginally thought to be an explosion at perhaps the local paper mill. Who could blame that theory, after all, how many earthquakes has New Jersey seen over the years? Thankfully, injuries and serious damage have not been reported.
First the major Blackout though, and now this. This sure has been an eventful year for New Jersey.

I didn't even think quakes were POSSIBLE in Jersey . . . where are we, California?
i vaguely remember tremors when i was younger.
wasn't that a movie? Tremors?
you guys will never be as disastrous as Cali, so stop trying!
when i was in cali there was an earthquake...but it was so little i didnt even wake up
Actually, route 287 runs right along a fault line so it's quite possible for Earth Quakes there.
it does?? that's weird. does it follow the fault the way it curves?
Mmm..I'm not sure if it does like exactly but it runs the general course of it.
i a-member one in rahway years ago

I dont care about earthquakes, I want a tornado... no good tornados around here. And if i am to pursue my tornado chasing career, i NEED a good twister to chase baby!!!! woohooo
bryan catizone and i wer in california, sleeping on the floor, and we both slept through a 4.0 quake . i guess east coast pep's are more hard core than the west coast.
i was away at the time in south dakota doing unassigned territory, so i missed it. but i live in milford. how weird is that?! how i say!!! anyway my house is gone... swallowed whole. can i come live with you...?
