Boston seems way far away to feel it.
My daughter, who lives in the Boston area, called me this morning (about 40 minutes ago) and told me she felt a tremor and this was before the breaking news about the earthquake felt in NYC, New Jersey area.
wow that's crazy.
Based on what I felt in NY which is the strongest of the two earthquakes I ever felt, I'm surprised Boston felt it.
Lasted maybe 10-15 seconds here and I definitely felt like the floor was moving back and forth under me. Wasn't violent. but like swaying.
Did you have any damage or cracks in the walls?
She said the hanging pictures on her walls were all askew and the shower door was moving back and forth.
Nah, I didn't see any of that. My home office is my back room with stuff on shelves 9 feet high and I wasn't even worried about stuff falling off.
Even in NJ that didn't happen. Some videos here

on a work meeting. someone in Boston didn't feel it, but the north coast of Mass did.
I think its because of how shallow (2.9 miles) it was, the energy traveled further, i think of it as stones in puddle (outward primarily) versus into an ocean (downward primarily)
There was a 4.0 Aftershock around 6 pm, I missed it entirely
