A comment on M 4.7 Earthquake 7 km N of Whitehouse Station, New Jersey – USGS. Parent comment
The PNW does get tremendously powerful Pacific cyclones every so often [0]. These are huge storms that would do real damage to mid-Atlantic cities.
And there's the known risk of the "big one" -- subduction zone quake, Seattle fault, etc. Sleep tight East coast, you'll be fine.
