To compare how big this is, it's only a few points higher than the earthquake that hit England in 2008...so...not big at all

They have had 30+ earthquakes over 5.0 on the east coast this year no need for the dramatics.

Uh, no. The East coast doesn't get earthquakes, which is why this is such a big deal. The West coast gets them all the time.
