No, it was in the Upper East Side of Manhattan. They say it was a 2.4. I didn't feel anything, but the windows did rattle a little. I was surprised to find out this afternoon that it was an earthquake. Hey, anything can happen in New York, right?

Well that is a quake in Central America - California and New York all in a few days. About time for the New Madrid fault to cut loose so us Midwesterners can join in.
