Even though it was not a high magnitude temblor, its effects were felt strongly, nonetheless. “I kept hearing, like thuds, coming from above,” said Yasmin Clark, a Roosevelt Island resident, who’d been in bed when the episode happened around 5:45 a.m. “My mother said she definitely felt the walls shaking. She was up,” Clark said. “I just saw all the firetrucks and stuff,” she continued, “and heard the helicopters, but I didn't know what happened.”What happened was what the United States Geological Survey determined mid-morning — that there was an earthquake, measuring 1.7 in magnitude. 5 recent earthquakes that shook New York City, according to USGS It’s a far lower intensity than the 7.6 magnitude quake this week in Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan, which took the lives of at least 55 people.

The incident in the 26000 block of Sugarcane Drive occurred on Dec. 26 just before 10 p.m. after the victim, identified only as Lien, had gotten off work as a server at a nearby restaurant, stopped for gas and made a quick trip to a Kohl’s department store. For Lien’s daughter Sammie and her daughter-in-law Jill, the video is difficult to see. “The video is kind of hard to watch because she is screaming for help,” Sammie told KTLA’s Shelby Nelson. “It’s hard for us to hear it.” The footage shows the two suspects approaching Lien as she’s getting out of her car. Working together, one of the suspects blocks the woman from getting back in her car as the other suspect grabs her from behind.
