Re: what's your weather currently like?
The NJ quake was a 4.8. I was either in my car or standing outside at the time. I didn't even notice it.

Everything okay there? I hope nothing more than a few fallen objects

Chilly, no, we don't have them here. People seem more freaked out by this one than the last one, that one in 2011 was in the DC area, so we were pretty far away, the epicenter of this one was actually in NJ. The frequency of this one felt different, if that makes any sense, perhaps due to the proximity.

Half the staff sprinted outside, the rest of us wandered out slowly wondering what all the excitement was about, we all thought it was pretty cool. Later on we heard 13 people had died in Newcastle. It was a 5.6 that hit at a depth of 7.1 miles.

We get quakes constantly and most people just learn to ignore them unless they rattle your house, but some folks just can't handle it and they leave
The 7.5 quake in November of 2018 was pretty destructive but nobody died
A lot of houses built during the pipeline boom sustained more damage than houses built before the great quake of 1964 or those built after the pipeline frenzy
Contractors from the lower 48 came up here and threw up thousands of houses built to lower 48 specs and the suffered all out of proportion to houses built to the Alaska standard
It was like gold rush mentality and so many houses were built in areas or communities that didn't really have building inspection practices in place
I am going to switch to my phone after I post this and add some pictures from the 2018 quake

Re: what's your weather currently like?
We've had rain every day for the last week, and it's predicted every day for the next. We've had at least an inch or two every day, it's very soggy here at the moment, I'm discovering which of my old shoes are no longer waterproof.

Rain and 12C this afternoon, with a feels like temp of 9.8C/50f. Just turned the heater on in the house for the first time this year, and I'm wearing a beanie.
