[@nsxpetes]

I’m only a few miles away. Felt like my neighbor below was rolling boulders and washing machines around

[@CrazyManhog]

Meanwhile in Orlando Test Track 3.0 announcement

[@398robin]

Miles below the surface, one fracture ran from the Rockaways to Manhattan, splitting north and south around Murray Hill or a bit north. The latter would place it on the East Side precisely in midtown not far from St. Patrick’s Cathedral and perhaps a bit southwest to Tribeca. Slashing diagonally, faults ran from the Brooklyn Bridge to Hell’s Kitchen and from the Brooklyn Navy Yard to the southwestern corner of Central Park: under the feet of millions. If those were ever triggered, the destruction would be as obvious as it was unspeakable. Another fault was thought to be near Forty-Ninth Street where the bronze statue of Atlas stood.
