There was one in So. Colorado as well, 5.5 I think! Maybe Yellow Stone is about to blow it's top? That's the biggest volcano in the world.

BREAKING NEWS: A small earthquake shakes upstate New York. According to the US Geological Survey a magnitude 2.2 earthquake hit about 4 miles from Altamont, N.Y., just outside Albany. It was 13 miles deep but strong enough to shake buildings across Upstate. This is a separate quake from a magnitude 5.9 earthquake that shook buildings from New York City to Washington D.C. that quake was centered in rural Virginia.
