News 13 out of Baltimore reports a Earthquake in Lancaster PA and it was about 3.4 or so on the scale. Any problems in the Lancaster area more specifically near Strasburg RR tonight?

 Only a 3.3, just shook the ground a little.   No problems that I heard of anywhere.   The epicenter was NW of the city near where the Reading used to cross the PRR (now amtrak) main at grade in Landisville. Pretty good distance from Strasburg proper.  Still was felt down there, but nothing major that I heard.
