For most of the millions of people who felt the magnitude-4.8 earthquake that sent tremors from Philadelphia to Boston yesterday, it was a harmless novelty in a part of the country unaccustomed to seismic shaking.

But the rattling shook buildings in New York City and drove startled residents into the streets. Aftershocks continued throughout the day, including one that measured 4.0 just before 6 p.m. and that was felt widely across New York and New Jersey.   The big question of the day here in New York was whether you felt the earthquake.  I confess I dd not feel it.  Below is video coverage courtesy of NBC News.
