There I was at the gym on a Monday morning at 6 am.
Sweating and excited to see what the day had in store for me. My day was just getting started and then something unprecedented happened.
As I’m doing squats listening to some music at full volume; the building starts to shake. My initial unrealistic thought was that everyone was giving me a round of applause for doing squats on a Monday morning.
Then my first rational thought was someone just drove into the building. I assumed that was the case and I continued on with my set. In between reps, I open up Twitter expecting to see an empty timeline because it’s so early. WRONG again!
Come to find out it was an EARTHQUAKE in BUFFALO, NY of all places.
I had no idea we were capable of being on the receiving end of an earthquake and was quite literally shook (I know, I’m sorry).
So, I go up to the front desk where a group of a few people was trying to sort it all out. I said to the guy “Did you know that was an earthquake?! I had no idea we could get those.” To which he replied, “Yeah we live on a slope and that’s what happens.”
First, we have to deal with all this snow and cold and now we have the potential of just getting hit with random earthquakes. Truly unbelievable.
Well, I never expected my week to start like that but at least we’re all awake so go grab a breakfast sandwich and a coffee and get your day started.
Captain’s Log 2/6/2023 – Buffalo Just Got Hit With a 4.2M Earthquake (yes you read that right)
This was my video reaction when it was first reported as a 4.2 but it turns out it was confirmed a 3.8!
