That house once had four floors: three flats over a garage floor.

Similar damage happened to apartment buildings in Northridge in '94.

We had to evacuate the building I work in for awhile. I'm on the top floor of the building. This place was really rocking!! I'm sure though the earthquake stopped, the building was still swaying.
Joey,

I have never been out of NY for any significant time to have missed an Earthquake.......I do not remember that.....Sure it wasnt that Texaco Plant that blew up in NJ?

No, I remember when the Texaco Plant that blew up in NJ happened. That sounded like a car landed on the room of the house. That incident was later in the evening. The earthquake woke me up just after 6 AM on a Saturday morning.

Though I'm positive that they have the time wrong.

Joey, I remember that earthquake too and you're right, the time on that website is wrong. I was the graveyard Manager on Duty at what is now the Doubletree Hotel at JFK when it occurred. Our switchboard lit up like a Christmas tree as quite a few of the hotel's guest were awaken.
