A couple of months ago I got to feel the northeast earthquake. Something seismic is going on that's for sure.

Of course; the continued movement of the North American plate westward, building up stress, which it's been doing for millions of years. This stress is released in earthquakes of varying magnitudes.

There's nothing EXTREMELY unusual about the Northeast earthquake or this recent earthquake; taking a big picture view, they're decidedly normal. And not necessarily a precursor of anything.

   And not necessarily a precursor of anything.

Not even a sign that Planet X [Google Search] is rapidly approaching, and beginning to destabilize our planet's core? :-O Gasp!

I have been to the site of the devestation in Peru which followed the 1970 quake that killed and estimated 70,000 people and destroyed 80% of all the structures in a valley about 150 miles long. Incredible...whole villages buried by huge mud flows. I believe that quake was a 7.0 M.

Actually, the NE gets a tremor about once a year...for which I personally am greatful. As long as we get tremors, we know the pressure is being let off the fault. It's the LACK of tremors along known faults that oughtta worry people.
