"Minutes after the quake, the director of the USGS, Marcia McNutt -- who watched objects falling from the shelves in her office -- cautioned that the shaking might not be over. 'What the concern is, of course, is that this is a foreshock. If it's a foreshock, then the worst is yet to come,' McNutt told The Washington Post." - USGS Warns Virginia Quake May Be a Foreshock - International Business TimesI did a little research on the net to come across the possibility this was a manufactured event due to what they call "fracking".
"Experts are looking for a reason behind Tuesday afternoon’s unlikely 5.8 magnitude earthquake that shook people up and down the East Coast, and some are saying that a recent rise in fracking could be the culprit.
Hydraulic fracturing, or “fracking,” is the man-made splintering of underground rocks to expedite the exploiting of natural resources. It’s become a widespread phenomenon since its introduction in 2004, and though the practice can help increase supplies of oil and gas without reaching out internationally for imports, the result it can have on the geological make-up of the Earth can be ravaging. Now some experts say the rise in fracking could be to blame for yesterday’s quake." - Fracking Could Have Caused East Coast Earthquake - Global Research - Center for Research on Globalization
Last year New Yorkers dealt with one of the worst winters in their history referred to as The Great North American Blizzard of 2010.
The Great North American Blizzard of 2010 was a big storm, walloping places like Washington, D.C. with more snow than they had seen in decades. By Friday, February 12, for the first time anyone could remember, there was snow on the ground in at least 49 of the 50 states. (We say “at least” because there seems to be some debate whether any of Hawaii’s mountain peaks carried a dusting of white stuff that day.) - Snow Day!

It seems New York's been targeted for destruction one way or another. Even the historic landmark Statute of Liberty's closing for a one year renovation. See Statute of Liberty Will Close For a Year to Improve Safety - NYTimes. My intuition tells me the statue will be blown to bits one day just like in the ending of the 1960's classic version of the Planet of the Apes. In fact, prior to 9/11 I had experienced a nightmare witnessing the Statute of Liberty about to be hit by a missile, then woke up. It was an especially troubling dream since I've never been to New York ever before in my life.
Let's hope New Yorkers will show the world how strong they are once again. People all over the world are praying for their and others' safety on the East Coast.
