Didn’t even feel at all? Was in Queens, NY, strangely a couple of people around me felt it though
My building rattled for a good 15 seconds.

#16I felt it in Mass -- I was working on the second floor. My wife was on the ground floor and didn't feel it. From our internal slack channel, this seems fairly common -- people on the ground floor don't feel it here in MA, but higher floors, they do feel it.
Im on ground floor and definitely felt it. In brooklyn. All the buildings around me were visibly shaking. Felt like a freight train going by 10 feet away, but eerily quiet.

#18Which fault caused it?
Northeastern US quakes are typically the result of post-glacial uplift. The land is still rising and stress builds up over time.

What is that helping, exactly? Most people have no idea what distinction that's drawing.
The Wikipedia article says an ETS event is imperceptible to humans. This was not imperceptible.
