NOTE: We don't usually accept earthquake reports because they are not
related to weather. However, I think an exception can be made for
media-worthy East Coast quakes such as yesterday's, because they are of
local interest.

Here's a map of yesterday's earthquake.

And of reports of tremors from southern NC to southern PA:
