Earthquake? Of course, why not? It’s 2020 – East Greenwich News

Above: an earthquake map from the United States Geological Survey.

It seemed to destroy some of us. If you are at home, you are anxious. To others, it looked like a very large truck rolling on the outside, or a subway train that was loud. It was seemingly more than just a movement most East Greenwich residents go through when an earthquake struck southern New England on Sunday morning.

The magnitude 3.6 earthquake occurred at 9:10 a.m. in Bazards Bay, about 7 miles south of Dartmouth, according to the US Geological Survey’s National Seismological Information Center in Boulder, Colo.

There was some damage to buildings in New Bedford, and according to the Boston Globe, 22 people were left homeless from the earthquake. Fortunately, in East Greenwich, it was a frightening moment without being devastating.

Here’s what a small number of residents shared on our Facebook page about their experiences. Share your:

The house shook a little. I thought there was a helicopter flying low or a really large truck that was driving by. – Eileen Vesbia

I was in the armory with the windows open. I felt the floor of the drill hall shaking, heard wooden cracks and cracks (rays?) And noticed what sounded like the loud rumble or heavy rumbling of a train … it lasted 3 seconds, I guess. The first thing I thought was that the kettle was … on the verge of exploding, lol. I looked around the building for any cracks. We seem fine. It is strange that others in Egypt heard and did not feel anything. Patrick Donovan

I thought it was a tank rolling down West Street. – Kevin Moyo

Like living next to a high subway track. – Anne Musela

I knew what it was right away! no doubt! Jane Schaefer
