Earthquake in NYC
Photo by Jon Tyson on Unsplash Yes, there was an earthquake in NYC. Yes, we are okay. As a rule, check here first if something like that happens. Phones are going off like crazy with disaster notifications. Mostly this is just reminding me of the Joplin Tornado, Katrina, Sandy, Arab Spring, COVID, et al. We’re good. I currently…
