North Jersey gets a few 2.0 shakers every year.

One fault runs near the Indian Point nuclear plant.

Remember in ‘11 in NYC 5.8 shook. I was in Time Square about 25 floors up looking uptown and you could see the buildings sway. No measure to CA stuff scary enough. The Ramapo fault in NJ rumbles pretty good at times. I the 80s it shook enough to cause some minor damage like broken water line.

That area of Berks country has had a long history of minor quakes. I remember feeling on while walking in the Berkshire mall in the early 90’s.
That said it didn’t compare to the east coast quake back in 2011.

RR damage from a 2.5? Only if a structure was about to fall down anyway. I've been in Tokyo during a 5.7. The trains stopped for 30 minutes and then carried on as usual.

That's just these crazy young people with the super speakers, tweeters, and woofers in the truck of their car playing that god-awful noise. You'll note that I do not refer to it as "music."

Can’t even feel something that small.
