  1. There are fault lines in NYC. Counting subways, there were two thousand tunnels and bridges in the City. One could but gasp at the crumpled steel, the contorted girders, the waterways clogged with what once seemed imperishable. If they collapsed, millions would find Manhattan a stone-cold debris-piled prison yard.

  2. Thank God the Jesus crazies are not in comments. They are all over other religious platforms calling AGAIN the End of the World. Been hearing that for 70 years. New Yorkers are the BEST with both feet firmly on the ground. God Bless!

  3. This is what are called Intraplate earthquakes

    These can be either man made caused either by Waste Water Injection or by Geothermal power plants causing water to seep into fault lines such as what happened during the 5.1 Prague Oklahoma Earthquake

    Or they can be caused by natural forces such as stress transfer from the earthquakes at plate boundaries and they can actually be just as large as those seen along plate boundaries

    For example around the year 823 AD there is confirmed evidence of a magnitude 6.8-7.2 earthquake striking Oklahoma on the Meers fault which produced a surface rupture

    And in 1811 and 1812 a series of earthquakes called the New Madrid or the Missouri earthquakes

    And then in 1886 a 7.3 earthquake struck Charleston

    And in 1638 a magnitude 6-7 earthquake struck New Hampshire

    And in 1755 a Magnitude 6.3 struck off shore of Boston near Cape Ann MA

    So yeah even though they are rare Intraplate earthquakes do occur and on rare occasions they can be big ones
