I happened to be in Twitch chat at the time, so I quickly fired off a message like ummm, anyone else just feel that orrrrr... and yeah, once someone told me it was in New Jersey, I wasn't all that surprised we felt it way out here. Apparently, lots of us felt it up here in the Northeast. 1 minute ago, Saraya Starr said: Yep, yep, end of the world as we know it I live in Vermont and there are reports that at least 20k people are traveling here to see it.

Persephone Emerald Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 (edited) My thought after watching the newscasters in New York and New Jersey was, "Now East Coast people know why we don't freak out in California when a quake here is under 4.5". That just feels like a big truck going by. 4.8 and higher rattles people a bit more, but most of our buildings are built to withstand quakes, so it's just stuff falling off shelves for the most part. It needs to be over 5.0 before a quake starts to be serious. Edited April 5 by Persephone Emerald 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They gotta update that ShakeMap. It only extends into Mass!

Yeah, it's pretty rare for us. The last one (there could've been super minor ones since, but nothing I remember feeling) that actually made things shake was when I was at work in an entirely glass building. It started swaying a LOT. We ran out so fast and were too scared to go back in, so we just went home, lol. 👀😩 That was...geez...2011? 5.8 or so in Virginia. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think someone just bumped into the bed kind of hard on the way to the bathroom only to find he is sitting at the computer. That's when you find yourself waiting for the next one that never comes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's one thing I'm glad of where we are at in TN.. It's kind of like an island in the land.. It's a rock base that when there is earth quakes that it's kind of like waves washing on a beach.. They hit that base and it slows the waves down.. The bad thing is, everywhere that you go around here, at 36 inches in the ground, you hit rock.. We had a storm that hit and blew the tree over at the house we have in town.. The whole root system on the tree wasn't thick at all, it was really wide but not even 36 inches deep in the ground.. I remember watching it slowly fall during the storm as the wind rocked it with gusts.. I could have walked back and forth under it as it was falling probably 10 times before it finally was down.. It was about as fast and that guy in Austin Powers running that guy over with that big barrel machine, where he sat there and screamed for like 5 minutes before getting run over.. hehehe Edited April 5 by Ceka Cianci 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayashe Ninetails Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 Another peeve today. Stevia. Pleeeease, for the love of all that's Pedro Pascal in a suit from Dior's Spring 2023 Men's Collection, stop adding sugar substitutes to "zero/no sugar" products. Just keep it bland it's FINE I can add my own sugar omg. Gawd, the aftertaste. I might die. 😒😂 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He later worked on Dance of the Vampires (a musical version of Roman Polanski's The Fearless Vampire Killers), though it didn't do any well to English-speaking audiences it became very popular in German. Due to a shortage on time (he got the gig a month and a half before the Vienna premiere), he recycled some music he had used prior, which both Meat Loaf and Bonnie Tyler had performed (also some stuff from Dream Engine, Pandora's Box, and Streets of Fire). So he finally got his Vampire musical! He'd also re-use the intro of Totale Finsternis in Seize the Night on Bat out of Hell III. .. Peeve: it hasn't been made into a musical film. I want it. Also I now feel like re-watching The Fearless Vampire Killers. Again! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
