Did anyone feel it? I didn't, but some of my co-workers did. I'm all the way over in Rochester. You could probably feel it all through New England and Upstate New York (not to mention Canukistan)

Magnitude 5.0 - ONTARIO-QUEBEC BORDER REGION, CANADA

[Laminar]

Felt it.

[scaught]

Felt it in Michigan too. Weird.

[ThinkInsane]

I didn't feel it. I didn't even know about it until I logged into facebook and it was everyone's status update. I realize it's they are pretty uncommon in this area, but people are acting like it's the freakin' end-times. It's all anybody's talking about.

[Dork.]

That's because talking about the earthquake is more fun than working.

At least Obama is on the ball warning us of the next Earthquake

I didn't feel it in Toronto but some did it seems.

[imitchellg5]

Woohoo, a 5.0 earthquake!

Moving on.

[Phileas]

I missed it as I was driving at the time, but lots of office buidlings in Toronto were being evacuated. We were trying to figure out why and only learned a couple of hours later that there had been an earthquake.

Felt it. One of my employees and I originally thought one of our machines had crashed. We then started checking the local news websites.

What kind of machines are you running that they shake buildings if they crash?

I didn't feel it either but there were some mugs hanging on hooks in my kitchen and they began swaying.

[andi*pandi]

I didn't notice but some buildings in Wellesley were evacuated.

[osiris]

Didn't feel it in NYC, but we Manhattanites have no feelings anyway.

Actually they are quite common in this area, but most of them are small. There was one 2-3 years back. Here is info on the area:

The Western Quebec Seismic Zone

Heh heh heh. 5.0

Here in EarthquakeLand, seems like we get a 5 every year. After hanging items stop swaying, go back to whatever you were doing. Things get interesting at 7.

Yeah, I do realize that. It's only the third one that anyone's felt this far south since I've been living here. This one and the one before it I didn't even notice. The one I did (I think I was 13 or so), I was asleep and I woke up thinking there was an animal under my bed. I grabbed a baseball bat and started poking around. It wasn't until later when my mother asked me if I felt it that I realized I was a dumbass
