No, I am in PA but about 1.5 hours from you.

 

I know we have earthquakes in PA because I felt one before.  I thought a car hit our house because it shook, but strangely, I didn't hear a crash.

 

My dog got weirded out, so I know it wasn't my imagination.  I called my husband who was two hours north of me and he said he felt it too.

 

The grocery stores had stuff flying off of the shelves.  I would have never guessed that PA had earthquakes, but from time to time we do....thankfully, not the ones nightmares are made from.
