About 1:40pm today the quake that hit Quebec-Ontario area was felt in Ohio at a 5.5 magnitude.
I didn't feel it myself. I must have been in my car.
Did any of you in Ohio or elsewhere feel it?
If so, what were you doing when it hit?

I was at home, and didn't feel anything. Didn't know about it until I turned the news on tonight.

Yipee! Free foot massage! But that's just a Southern Californian talking. You would barely notice a 5.5. Just a little shimmy.

:-) :-) :-) I saw on the local news how people were vacating the downtown buildings and everyone was standing in the street. So what magnitude would make you Californians run?

I felt it for sure! I live 60 miles from Niagara Falls. It rattled the house for a few seconds and I thought "hmmm. I wonder what that was. I'll bet that's what an earthquake feels like!" Kinda felt like a train went by real close to the house but without any noise.

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

Wow! Didn't even hear about it! Haven't watched the news. At that time we were in the house with kids running everywhere. Ohio doesn't get much of that!
