did a quick research and today's quake was the largest in over 100 years.
5.1 mag. in 1904 was on my birthday.

felt my balls jiggle a bit, but no casualties.

I'm guessing you didn't live in the Tri-State Area on August 23 2011?  There was a 5.8 quake that shook us here in NYC... with aftershocks.

I did live in CT then, but didn't feel that one.
I think it was based in Virginia?

inititial reports of yesterdays quake measured it at 4.6 but was later reported to only be a 4.0.
wouldn't want to exagerate the size. (at least talking about earthquakes) ;D
