in Huntington Valley and no one else did. There's actually a Huntington Valley fault I found out later.

"In Pennsylvania, Montgomery County experienced a series of quakes during three months in 1980, the largest centered in Abington at
magnitude
3.7 on March 11. The quakes—located around the Huntington Valley fault, running through Glenside, Abington, and Jenkintown—began on March 2, 1980".
