I'm in New Jersey and my office building was shaking and swaying, even a couple ceiling tiles fell down. They evacuated the building and I went home. Decided to stop a Burger King and they were closed due to earthquake. My house has some stress fractures along the wall of the main beam of the house and cracks in my basement.
Earthquakes hit much harder in New Jersey over California because we sit on granite.
Actually, granite is a good soil/foundation for earthquakes. More dangerous is sandstone and "filled" land.
The reason earthquake on the east coast are felt over a wide area is because there are few faults. The numerous faults in California act as a shock absorber so the shaking is not felt as far away as east coast faults.

Uranus and Jupiter are conjunct in Taurus (fixed earth) today.
Never know where resultant could-bees could happen.
That Baltimore Bridge hit might have actuated something.
Could have possibly triggered a fracked slam effect.

I thought that insurance was for acts of nature. What else is there?
I don’t really know, I guess they assume most fires are caused by a faulty appliance, or plug or a human error like careless smoking or something like that. That’s why we have to get flood insurance because homeowners won’t cover floods if they’re acts of nature (say hurricane) but I believe they cover flooding if your washer caused it.
Someone on the NJ forum said she had several cracks in a load-bearing wall in her home from it. Not covered by Homeowners as it's an "act of nature".
I can't even imagine driving over a bridge or on a subway when it happened!
When that big hurricane hit NJ, and a big oak tree fell and took out a piece of my roof, along with my wife’s car, homeowners insurance took care of the roof.
Being 16 miles inland from Manhattan, I doubt I had any special rider for hurricanes.
