Man, I thought that was just local - we get little quakes here in CT all the time...

We do? This is the first quake I have felt here in the 25+ years I have lived here.

I mean it was a 4.8, not exactly a big event.

"Big event" is relative; when your region gets them so infrequently that the last time folks can remember something at all similar was over a decade ago, yeah it's news.

Pennsylvania fracking says hello.

Unlikely - quakes from drilling (more often, from disposal of wastewater, but whatever) usually happen within a couple of kilometers of the drill sites. The epicenter of this quake was 20 miles and more from Pennsylvania fracking.
