join such a tremendously and successful philanthropic group of people. congrats to bret. thank you for watching special report. i m trace gallagher. the the angle starts right now. laura: i m all of your preparations so you know what to do if you start to feel any trembling. it s been 139 years since we ve had anything like this in the greater new york city area. around 240 years in new jersey. i just want to show you the difference between east coast and west coast earthquakes. west coast in 2004, there was a 6.4 earthquake. you see the area that felt that. in 2011 we had a 5.8, in central virginia. look how much land mass felt it. it s just the way the ground is built across much of the eastern seaboard. 4.8 earthquake earlier, 14 states had people who felt this. you can see the intensity in parts of new england, down across parts of the central atlantic. obviously the worst in new jersey. they experienced strong shaking. no significant reports of any kind of big damage
