    Anyone else on the East feel the Earth Move?

    In North, North America?

    Toronto just had a bit of an earthquake. I'm in a coffee shop surrounded by panicky office workers. Apparently it was felt as far away as Ohio, New York and Ottawa thus far.

          It felt like someone was shaking the bench I was sitting on, but there was no one else one it, I'm at ground level. Apparently it felt longer and more pronounced in the office towers since the street outside is still filled with the folks who evacuated their buildings.

          I'm getting tweets from Barrie, Newmarket and Waterloo.

          My spouse's office tower is overlooking the G20 security zone downtown and they were all freaked out that it was terrorist activity.

            Looks like it was a 5.5.

              Hunh, my chair vibrated a tiny bit I guess that's the extent I felt it here.

                  I felt a slight shake, but chalked it up to the dog thundering through the house; he is getting to be a big clodhopper. LOL A few minutes ago, I popped online to read the news and learned about the earthquake.

                        I must have been in the shower or something, because I didn't feel a thing - but everyone keeps messaging me and my girlfriend called to see if I was okay.

                          Oh - and I noticed my roommate's Darth Maul action figure was face planted on the ground when I came into the office this afternoon.

                              I felt it at work in Buffalo. To me it was a very small, almost subliminal vibration, to others in my office it felt stronger. Guess I'm used to feeling the tremors in Japan, so this one was nothing.
