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.

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.

That’s a morning wake up alarm for us

Ever hear noises like an airplane before one? I've been in a few quakes but never heard the sound I heard before the one this morning. Everyone on my block thought a plane crashed. You could hear an odd sound for a few seconds before the ground shook, it was pretty loud.

Turkey just had a 7.8 magnitude one this morning and it collapsed buildings and killed at least 1300 people from the reports...

 

They have a lot of major ones there...remember my Mom telling me when she was there they had one and she thought she was going to die because the entire room shifted to one side of the house. My Dad grew up in Istanbul and told me some crazy stories too...
