Earthquake!!!

There are certain kinds of natural incidents you don't expect to encounter in the middle of New York City.

Nor'easters, yes. Hurricanes -- on occasion. Tornadoes? -- not so much, but after the big one last September I'm aware they can happen.

But really, an EARTHQUAKE?

As Crankycon said, "two seconds of terror".

Still, looking at an earthquake map of the United States for the past 7 days, I can understand how folks on the West coast can find our (over)reaction comical.
