We have small ones every 10 years here too, in the Rhine valley. The first time is a bit "wtf". There are area where people are not at all prepared, so it's just an ubris thing: "oh well that was an earthquake I guess", and then you go back to your pre-earthquake-activities.

The submitted reports show it stretched from Fairfield County, Connecticut to New Castle County, Delaware.
