Pray that the NYC area doesn't get a California-sized earthquake. Remember that earthquake that occurred during the World Series in San Francisco. If that had happened in NYC, it would have been much, much worse. All those old bridges and skyscrapers were not built to withstand earthquakes. Imagine the Empire State Building toppling over from a measly 5.5 level earthquake... It would make Katrina look like a fire drill.
I'm glad that no one was hurt. I'm from the Philippines and every time I hear news about quakes i get kinda nervous. We're on the Pacific Ring of Fire.

I think 3.0 to NJ folks is like 8.0 to California folks.
At least in perception, anyway.

Without a doubt, it was caused by Global Climate Change
