Earthquake in Northern Ohio?

[DocCincy]

Just felt our whole office building shake here in Northern Ohio. Lasted about 10 seconds. Anyone else feel anything??

Here's the Virginia Tech Seismograph. Check out around 14:00

The worldwide shot shows it, but the USA iso map does not.

Only 5.5? Must have been shallow, or placed just right.

When I lived in California we didn’t even look up for a 5.5.

Northern Detroit Suburbs. I have been walking around the house to see if someone ran into the house. Also, my alarm system beeped when the impact happened.

Thanks.

The quake may be over, but I’m still shaking.

Yup - felt it here on UM Campus, Ann Arbor, Michigan.

Must be the big red box on the map you posted (up in Canada). That wasn’t there a few minutes ago.

5.5 earthquake has hit Ontario and the Quebec border - US Earthquake Centre

Didn't feel it here in California....

5.5.....we eat those for breakfast out here. I was going to suggest it was a salt mine collapse....

Its funny you should say that, I felt my bldg here in Pittsburgh shaking ever so slightly.

[Entropy Squared]

I’m also hearing reports of cell phone service disruption in Ottawa.

[null and void]

I’m blaming you...

[buccaneer81]

The quake may be over, but I’m still shaking.

I know what you mean. I went through a 5.8 in New Brunswick in 1982.

Thanks abner...I am east of Pittsburgh (Westmoreland County) and didn’t feel a thing...but I was concentrating on work (numbers) so maybe I have (surprise!) developed an attention span :) (or just in a different rock type formation.)

5.5 sounds ‘big’ for the east coast, huh?
