In midtown Manhattan, the usual cacophony of traffic grew louder as motorists blared their horns on momentarily shuddering streets.
Honking at an earthquake is the most "New York" thing I've ever read.

“I’m shakin’ here!”
It wasn't that big of a shake but damn is that freaky. Dudes in the warehouse didn't feel a thing, made us in the office look crazy for a moment.
“Near New York”
It was in the middle of Jersey. We can just say “New Jersey.”
Never heard of "New Jersey", is that near New York?
This embodies the experience of traveling overseas when you're from Jersey entirely. They hear your accent, say "oh, new York! Cool!" And you either gotta be a prick or grin and bear it.
I’m assuming the appropriate response is to act like Donte from the Leonardo, NJ Quick Stop.
Looks like most of the Pennsylvania fracking sites are farther west, but that's always my first thought when placing that shouldn't get any earthquakes start getting mild ones. Felt like a weird isolated wind storm when we used to get them in the Dallas area.
There are very minor faults running through the area, and while earthquakes there are rare, they are not unheard of.
The Appalachians haven't really been geologically active in quite a long time, but no geology ever really stops.
Years of cartoons have taught me that earthquakes in NYC can only be caused by mole people
