Quakes in the Eastern US are felt over a much larger geographic area than West coast quakes because of the geology. When the New Madrid let loose, that was felt in Maine too. New Madrid is in Missouri.

Exactly right....solid cold bedrock as opposed to fractured heated in the west carry’s the shockwave much more efficiently.
