We are in Chautauqua County, NY. East of Erie, PA, southwest of Buffalo.
Didn’t feel a thing, and asked two other adults in the house. Wonder what this tells us about our local substructure? Anything?
I hear it was pretty shaky in Shaker Heights!
It was felt in Lake County OH
Shortly after. I’m only about 2 blocks from the WH so I’ve been trying to find a way to blame the weird noise on him. ;-)
Didn’t feel anything though.
Ping
I’m not blaming Obama (this time)...just thinkin God is tryin to tell us something.
Being in SOUTH Jersey, I didn’t feel it. Now to mention a coincidence (I’m sure): The G20 is meeting this weekend in Toronto. . . .
No, I should have been clearer. It was like being on a boat on a calm lake. No objects were moving around. But most people in my office building felt like they were getting bed spins. Most just assumed it was their own problem until everybody started standing up and looking around saying "Are you feeling that too?!"
It was a very strange sensation, but nothing fell over or anything like that. Some people left the building for twenty minutes.
Bad burritos?
We had a 5.2 in Southern Ill. a couple years back centered 20 miles from where I live. Shook the hell outta the house and scared the bejesus out of me.
They say that you can’t compare the feel and results of a California quake with a midwestern one as the MW plates are much more solid and brittle therefor having significantly greater effect.
Very possible. 5.5 is not huge but it is nothing to sneeze at. It was centered in the province of Quebec, about 60 miles north of the Canadian capital of Ottawa. That’s pretty far away to feel aftershocks but its possible.
Nothing on the 7th floor of a building in downtown Cincinnati
LOL, but they did evacuate a few Cleveland office buildings.
WJR in Detroit finally reporting on it.....everyone is soooooo excited!
Getting lots of calls non-stop at WJR.
Lucky for us, midwest quakes feel basically like a light shake from a passing truck!
Makes then almost entertaining.
Exactly! A shift on the northern end of the New Madrid fault zone, could be a warning signal. Look out...
It could also be a good thing, releasing pressure with little or no damage.
It’s one centered in the Missouri, Tennessee, Arkansas, and Mississippi region that concerns me.
