Waiting for the usual suspects to say it was caused by AGW.

Ezekiel 38
19 In my zeal and fiery wrath I declare that at that time there shall be a great earthquake in the land of Israel. 20 The fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, the beasts of the field, every creature that moves along the ground, and all the people on the face of the earth will tremble at my presence. The mountains will be overturned, the cliffs will crumble and every wall will fall to the ground.

My floor shook very slightly here in southwest philly suburb. If i was sitting i would not have noticed it but i was standing in the living room and when the train goes by the floor doesn’t shake. no train. little rattles around the windows.
My Wife felt it - We are in the So Tier, My Lab slept through it.
I agree with you.
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul tweeted
My team is assessing impacts on our vulnerable immigrant residents and any damage that may have occurred to their hotel suites, and we will update the public throughout the day as to whether they need to provide more facilities and assistance to the immigrant population.
Yup—I was surprised it was that high. I believe serious damage begins around magnitude 5, I think? Where I was located at the time was around 2.2 or so, it wasn’t that bad. However, it felt like a piece of heavy machinery was rolling in our back lot——the sounds and shake was consistent and lasted about 8-10 seconds.
