it was rated a 5.2, no damage here though. I did hear some helicoper or 2 out after it happened though and they said they had a crew out on the news, looking for any damage.

The worst one I've ever been in was like a 3.5 way back when I was in first grade. We didn't get them often in Cleveland, but boy did we get snow...........

Dude, out here, 5.2 is small. In New York a 5.2 could be disasterous. No earthquake safe structures on the East Coast.
