that big enough to create Panic!

DOOM!!!!

err, I mean... thanks for the heads up.

Felt it.

Thought it felt stronger than a passing truck...

Think probably coming some stronger EQ soon, somewhere at sensitive areas worldwide ..

Other earlier earthquakes in the greater epicenter area (since 1900)

Oh my,that was classic....thaks for the quake watch.

I noticed this one last night and thought it was rather odd. Never in my three years of quake watching have I seen one here.

Why do you think it is a precursor to something bigger? I have the same feeling, but it's just a feeling.

This LINK might be the reason why a larger earthquake could happen...

The study links the tsunami to a known Jan. 8, 1817, earthquake. The temblor shook the East Coast from Virginia south to Georgia, where the seismic waves made the State House bell ring several times. Based on archival accounts of the 1817 shaking, geologists had gauged the quake's size at magnitude 4.8 to magnitude 6. Now, with new geologic detective work and computer modeling of the tsunami, researchers have considerably revised the earthquake's size. A magnitude-7.4 quake releases almost 8,000 times more energy than a magnitude-4.8 earthquake.

The foot-high tsunami wave started about 800 miles (1,300 kilometers) south of Delaware Bay and 400 to 500 miles (650 to 800 km) offshore of South Carolina, according to the study, published in the September/October issue of the journal Seismological Research Letters. That's smack on the northwestern limb of the so-called Bermuda Triangle.

Did they omit the South Carolina distances?
557km (346mi) SE of Masonboro, North Carolina
566km (352mi) SE of Wilmington, North Carolina
567km (352mi) SE of Murraysville, North Carolina
653km (406mi) NNE of Nassau, Bahamas

Could the Continental shelf on the East Coast be a cause for concern?

East Coast tsunami risk
However, Hough's goal isn't to solve the mystery of the Bermuda Triangle, but rather to fill in the gaps in the East Coast's earthquake history. Before the new study of the 1817 earthquake, the only other big offshore temblor in recorded history was the 1929 Grand Banks quake, a magnitude-7.2 off the south coast of Newfoundland that unleashed a deadly tsunami.

"Grand Banks has been seen as an outlier or a fluke event," Hough said. "If our interpretation is correct, it points to a more distributed [seismic] hazard. Maybe we should expect this kind of earthquake all along the continental shelf."

Is this where the Senaca Guns & Booms and the small tidal wave that hit in June in New Jersey are from, movement in the Continental Shelf?

There is certainly danger for big quake in Mid-Atlantic Ridge, but not near the Unites States coast, but around Azores - Canary Islands axis. I hope that one never happens though. Can't imagine what would happen if 8.0+ mag earthquake would hit there. But that strong quake has never happened in recorded history. Strongest quake on Mid-Atlantic Ridge was 7.3 magnitude, about 39 years ago in 1974, pretty much half-way between Ireland and Newfoundland.

We had a some stronger seismic activity, but think stronger activity and EQ's still to come soon in this month and time ahead ..

Probably some EQ or EQ's stronger of M 7.4 + somewhere at sensitive areas worldwide

There is a thread about that in the HOAX section of this site.

Works fine for me...

Though reads like a bad novel.

anyone know where to find the actual graph for this quake? The one in the OP?
with the govt shut down, i'm having aheck of a time finding a graph anywhere.
has to be one out there on net land, they cant just claim a quake without a station
printing out a squiggly line page for it.

One more strong earthquake of M 7.1, also more strong EQ's to come ..
