I've been wondering if some of the recent East coast quakes might be related to recent flooding/hurricane in the area. eg.

3.4 earthquake jolts Virginia http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/nationnow/2011/09/34-earthquake-aftershock-jolts-virginia.html Oh no, not again: Some Virginia residents awoke Thursday to a 3.4-magnitude earthquake occurring shortly after 5 a.m. EDT. It came just nine days after a much larger earthquake -- which also originated in Virginia -- jolted much of the East Coast.
The temblor, with an epicenter 36 miles northwest of Richmond, Va., appears to be an aftershock to the Aug. 23 quake. That one measured 5.8 magnitude and was felt as far away as Ohio and Massachusetts.
"Yup, this one woke me up," one resident commented on the Richmond Times-Dispatch's website.
There were no immediate reports of injuries or significant damage from Thursday's quake. . . .
