Yeah, it was centered up near Plattburg, NY and was felt all the way to
Virginia. I felt it this morning. Felt like a combination of a crowd of
people moshing on the roof and a jet flying directly overhead. This is
the strongest quake in this region since a high-5 to low 6 quake back in
the 80's, though there have been occasional lesser tremors. Nothing
spectacular compared to the west coast, but a nice wake up call.
