I grew up in New England, but have lived in California for 30 years. A 4.7 is waaay larger than anything I've personally felt here!

Plus the Northeast is just not made for quakes. The 200 year old house I grew up in would probably have creaked pretty alarmingly.

House I'm renovating here in the northeast had the concrete in the basement poured yesterday... Going to head over there to see if any weirdness occurred

Good way of removing any trapped air!

This one weird trick seismologists don’t want you to know about!
