[AT] east coast earthquake

[john hall]

It was strange who witnessed it and who didn't. I was driving and had no 
idea it happened. Talked to some folks 3 miles from my house who didn't feel 
it although family here could here hear dishes rattling. Did see a news item 
that stated the rocks on the east coast transmit the vibrations more 
efficiently than on the west coast.
