    Just felt an earthquake in Detroit

    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

    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.
