I felt my building move... Only lasted a couple seconds, but there was a definite shake happening. My wife's building moved, too so it's not just me.

I don't see anything in the news about it yet; hopefully we didn't feel the edges of a bad one farther away.

So - who else felt the earth move today? (and remember it's a family site)

Supposedly it was felt here in Buffalo too but I left work early so I didnt feel it. Was the main earthquake in Detroit? I heard it was in Quebec.

EDIT: Just watched the news. I guess the quake was in Ontario/Quebec and tremors were felt in Detroit. According to the news it was a 5.5 which can be felt over 300 miles away.

Here's a link to the location, intensity and a place to report what you felt (if you did): USGS (http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/dyfi/events/us/2010xwa7/us/index.html)

No reports of any damage or injuries in the earthquake zone.

The main speaker was pretty calm but you could see everyone else running to get out.

A colleague of mine from work who lives north of Albany, NY said she felt that quake!
