Engorgeous George 1,185 Posted April 5 Those sand hogs accomplished amazing feats. That said 100 year old infrastructure would concern me during even moderate earth quakes. Also, are we expecting milder after shocks or is this a precursor, and how do we know the difference? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Strike 3,981 Posted April 5 1 hour ago, thegeneral said: Yep. NYC and east coast may not be so good on this. After reading Jerry's post I agree with this. A couple of guys I worked with were on the 19th floor of a downtown Los Angeles skyscraper when the 6.8 Northridge earthquake hit. IT guys doing off hours upgrades. They didn't even know there had been an earthquake until they left to go home and heard about it on the radio. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
