New York Earthquake

So there was an earthquake here in New York... and as usual for East Coast earthquake, nobody noticed. It's like someone threw a party, but didn't invite anyone at all. It's not like California, where earthquakes aren't news unless buildings fall over. Here, we need the news report to confirm that what we felt the night before wasn't just the garbage truck going by outside. We don't even think of word "earthquake" until we see the news the next day... and then we think "oh yeah, that thing I felt last night... or was that indigestion?"
