Seriously - I was in New Jersey when it happened, and never felt anything. I heard later there was an earthquake and was...well...annoyed that I didn't get to experience it. I know, stupid thought, but it would have been nice to be through a "safe" earthquake where you get to feel the ground move but there's no risk of harm.
Come visit CA, a couple days after, there were a couple 3.6 quakes in the span of 12 hours about 20 miles from my house, those are good practice shakers.
A 3.6 quake is kinda like a light mist of rain compared to a hurricane. You get used to this kind of stuff. I feel something and I just kind of freeze in place and wait a sec to see if it's the usual no big deal, or if it's going to get big and you're gonna need to get under a desk or into a doorway (never been through one that got big.. yet). It also means you adjust how much you spend on things like tables and desks when you start thinking that it may be the only thing between you and your roof crashing down.
