- moate 3y agoIt’s actually “moderate shaking and light damage expected”[1] but go off sis. (1)https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/us7000ma74/executive https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/us7000ma74...
- ziddoap 3y agoIt is very obviously not "literally nothing", given the amount of people chiming in that they felt it.
- chrinic74929 3y ago> 4.7 is literally nothing 4.7 quake at 1 km depth will shake more at the surface than a 6.0 at 30 km depth
- zzleeper 3y ago4.7 at 5km depth is still nothing for anyone not immediately above the epicenter.
- ancientworldnow 3y agoEast coast geology (older, harder rocks) causes earthquakes to feel about ten times stronger than a west coast earthquake. This is felt roughly the same as a 5.8 in California. That's enough to be notable, especially at a shallow depth.
