Imagine if that had been your head!

The scary thing is that the East Coast has tons of brick buildings, which easily crumble in earthquakes. We in California know about these things. We have very few brick buildings anymore.

It rattled a pretty big area. The furthest north I have heard it was felt was in Canada. The furthest west was reported from Ohio and the furthest south was reported from South Carolina.
