Not at the table Karlos Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 (edited) Sounded like a plane was falling out of the sky. Never heard that noise before an earthquake. Like in movies when bombs or a plane is gonna crash. I thought a plane crashed into my house. I grabbed my med kit and shotgun and ran outside in my underwear. Was prepping myself for what horrors I was gonna see when I got outside. Could hear my neighbors screaming. The people driving down hertel prob thought I was nuts.

Big Turk Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 (edited) Buffalo lies very close to the Clarendon-Linden Fault Line and we actually have quite a few earthquakes here, just normally under a 3.0 magnitude so they aren't really felt. The last one I remember before this was maybe 35 years ago when I was growing up and it lasted for about a minute or so and shook the chandelier in the dining room.

BobbyC81 Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 That’s very interesting. I moved to California from Buffalo in 1980 when there was a lot of earthquake activity. Some time later I saw that UB was awarded a grant for earthquake research over Cal-Berkley, which made no sense. I did some research and found that there was a lot of earthquake activity in Western New York, but mostly ones and twos. My sister, who still lives in Buffalo, frequently has said to me she’d rather deal with the snow than earthquakes. I guess i get the last laugh for now.

I remember being in school in 1985 and we had an earthquake but can't remember if was same day as the Challenger or not but definitely remember being in school then too.
