Earthquake, aftershocks rattle NYC and beyond: "One of the largest" East Coast quakes in the last century - CBS New York | Coastal Restoration | Scoop.it
A 3.8 magnitude aftershock hit near Gladstone, N.J. around 6 p.m. Friday. It came on the heels of a 4.8 earthquake that shook the region.

This was interesting due to New York is not a place that expieriences earthquakes on the norm (that I am aware of), so to see how the emergency services as well as the civilians would react during the earthquake. I also thought it was interesting of the amount of aftershocks with in a few hours of a 4.0 earthquake which is relatively light.

A 7.4-magnitude earthquake struck off the east coast of Taiwan, but years of preparedness kept the death toll to just a fraction of the last major quake.

Apparently Japan may experience a tsunami due to this. Would be interesting to see.

Very sad. As well as hits home, my parents were involved in the Northridge earthquake and had to evacuate their apartment.
