Very strange in my book. When I lived in central CA we'd get them from time to time but this one was intense. Thank God it lasted only about 15 seconds.
New England is certainly not as active as say Alaska or California, however some fairly large earthquakes have occured. See the New England Historical Earthquake Atlas. Also see the Northeast States Emergency Consortium earthquake page for some historical info.
