It’s not east coast, it’s Midwest.

Having experienced many many 4-5’s in the Midwest and a 7.0 south of Seattle, I think they were similar except the 7.0 lasted longer.

4.5 was more or less a weekly event in Japan.
The slow, back and forth quakes were no worry.
The sudden, up and down moves would break windows...
