I'll link to an article. But I felt it here in PA, and I'm well away from the epicenter. Fortunately, it doesn't look like anything is damaged and everything is fine at the moment.
The couple other people I spoke to on feeling it didn't notice anything, but it was enough to make my coffee ripple a good half an inch up in the cup. I asusmed it was just one of those 4.0-ish quakes we get a couple times a year till I saw the news.
Enough to make me go, "that was weird." But since me, the house, and the neighborhood are apparently fine and unharmed, I'm guessing it's nothing to lose sleep over.
I'm not strange. I'm normal. Everyone else is strange.
Oosta!

You're right, the reason it's news is because we don't get earthquakes that poweful. Hence, I posted *NM*

I doubt things are broken- it wasn't too strong by the time it got to me, at least 100 miles away.

Probably worth remembering most of the buildings aren't designed for that
