DEVELOPING STORY: There is a massive FDNY presence on New York City’s Roosevelt Island after residents reported multiple explosions, power outages and buildings shaking. Watch video from the scene below.

VIDEO AT LINK...........

The Daily Mail reports that firefighters are also dealing with a number of manhole fires. That would lead investigators to suspect there was some sort of massive electrical issue.

Calls were received just before 6 a.m. for the reports at 580 Main St., which is just south of Roosevelt Island Bridge & Tram.

The New York City Emergency Management Department posted an alert on X right before 7:30 a.m., warning of road closures, mass transit disruptions and emergency personnel near Roosevelt Island.

Several tweets across the social media platform “X” reported people saying they were awoken by a loud noise, and that they felt their buildings shaking, Fox 5 in NYC reports.

“At 5:45 in the morning, we woke with what sounded like a large bang, and the whole building sort of moved in response to the bang,” Jennifer Cohen, who lives on Roosevelt Island, told WNYC. “I’ve never been through an earthquake, but it didn’t really feel like an earthquake.”

There are no reports of injuries.

NBC News reports one building was said to be shaking.

Just starting off 2024 with a bang.

And remember: diversity is our strength and all that bullshit.

“ They built skyscrapers on that skinny little island? No wonder it’s shaking.”

I have a friend who works in the buildings for the management company. Texted her to see if she was okay- her response, “Yes i’m okay. FDNY & Con Ed (the electric company) all over the place. Apparently there was a loud boom and a few buildings shook but they haven’t found anything”

Beware the false flag. This was ‘no doubt’ caused by white Christian Nationalists. We will be rounded up and placed in camps soon.

Am I kidding? I don’t know.
