The real worry that USGS is concerned with, is that the 4.7-4.8 mag quake could be the weaker prelude to something much bigger.. (bear in mind, most of the structures in New York, especially the skyscrapers & bridges, weren't constructed with earthquakes in mind, so anything greater than a 6.5+ is going to cause damage...)
