I felt it here in NE PA.  My desk started swaying back and forth East to West.  At first I thought I was having a stroke.  My dog slept through it Smiley

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

MAP 2.9 2011/08/27 14:38:40    42.683 -74.091  22.2   NEW YORK  
MAP 3.0 2011/08/27 06:25:42    46.805 -70.701  12.8   SOUTHERN QUEBEC, CANADA
and today's article:

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. . . .

Not exactly East coast, but a possible impact there.
El Hierro, SW Islas Canarias, Canary islands,  got a Mag 4.3 yesterday, after thousands of smaller quakes and an evacuation by the Guardia Civil. Strange thing is there is no mention of this on the USGS website.
