5.1 magnitude is "not too shabby" for the northeast. Even people here would
pay attention to one of that size. The NEIC says there was some scattered
damage, which doesn't surprise me, as y'all don't have much in the line of
seismicity standards in the building codes.
Glad to hear the OM-2N survived.

Subject: [OM] OM-2 survives earthquake
Around 7 this morning my house started to shake violently, and continued
shaking for about 15 seconds. Among other things, an OM-2 was sent to the
floor from a high shelf. It hit a dresser, then the floor. It earned a
little ding on the prism, and the metal base of the rubber lens hood is
dented. But it seems to work fine, along with the 35-70 lens.
The quake was centered about 12 miles west, across Lake Champlain in the
Adirondack Mts. of N.Y. State. Some fellow there had a chimney land on his
car.
