A 6.0+ makes me hold my breath, a 7.0 or higher makes me say that bad word :lol: :lol: :lol:

Which bad word? There are so many.

It's got to be at least a 6.5 to make me run. At 6.0 I just get under something. Anything over 7.0 is a Oh #$%

I was in a restaurant in Toronto and felt my chair moving around. At first I though it was the subway but it lasted too long. We are all OK. The police and RCMP were all alert with the G20 summit this weekend in Toronto. Police in groups all over Toronto this week.

Here in NY many people felt the shaking. Me..i didn't feel a thing. I think the lake was a buffer for us. Some people downtown did feel it thought

A co-worker's husband works in downtown Columbus. Some of his co-workers felt it in the AEP building. I work just outside downtown and felt nothing.

It was a 5.0 according to the USGS. Nothing to warrant the overwhelming news coverage that is going on right now here. I used to live in CA so I'm just laughing at all the folks freaking out here. Didn't even notice it when it happened. Besides it's not like we never had an earthquake here before. The one in 1998 was much more noticeable.
