earthquake near Ottawa and we felt it down here in Buffalo. I felt the house shake a little but thought it was the wind. Anyone else feel it?

Yes and I'm 300 miles away. The building rocked solid for about 20 seconds and we're only on the third floor. My brother in Sudbury (~500 miles away) felt it, he's on the 14th floor and my friends that live in Ottawa are shitting their pants right now. 5.5 is pretty decent sized!

 

Im from ottawa originaly .. Crazy .. Friends and relatives are ok

 

I didnt feel ****

But I am a lot further away, lol

 

WTF?
Earthquake in Ottawa?
That's like having a tropical storm at the arctic.

Hope everyone is alright.

 

Since the building I work in is old (I mean like built in early 1900s old) I got a good ride for the time it lasted....do it again

 

lol 5.5 big? Nah

 

For this region that's big....the last one was a 3.0 and no one even noticed the damned thing. Like Omega said, a decent sized EQ here is completely out of the ordinary.

 

It was felt here in cleveland

 

We've had 2 in Illinois the last 2 years, and we NEVER get earthquakes, lol. Something odd is happening. Pretty sure its the second coming of Jesus, lol.

 

Crazy! What did you guys think? lol I'm used to them now.

 

I ripped through the office yelling "Oh **** it's the end of the world, run for your lives" just for the hell of it. Some smart as yelled back "what did a bird **** on your car"...************

 

it was weird, i didnt even know it was an earthquake it i went to check news and saw that there was one.

 

You guys are nutts living in Cali. By the time it got to London from Ottawa no way it was anywhere near the 5.5 that went through there. Needless to say, I'll stay here thank you very much I'm not a huge fan of the earth randomly moving under my feet .

 

Being in so Cal you better be used to it lol. In nor Cal I didn't feel them

 

I was staring at my monitor and thought maybe I needed to get up (almost gave me the sensation of being light-headed). I pulled back, stood up, had wobbly legs and figured it couldn't be anything else to make the building move like that.

 

hahaha. I didnt feel either earthquake. And the last one was like a 6.8

 

Yeah I'm used to frequent semi-large to large earthquakes lol.

 

Ya I read 5.5, figured what we felt being that far away must have been maybe a 4 and then got wondering what in the hell a 7 or 8 must feel like!

 

Pretty sure, Im blackin out my balt like yours Rissa....just no purple calipers, lol

 

When the one hits down here in Memphis they will feel it all the way to Boston. It is projected to cause catastrophic damage as far north as St. Louis, east as Nashville and west as Little Rock. Probably be felt all the way to Boston again. Last time it struck in 1811 the shakes rang the bell in the Boston Courthouse

 

When I was home I slept thru them hoes lol

 

They've been predicting a "big one" for So Cal for yeeeeeeeeears. Still waiting on that one lol.

 

They're also predicting Yellowstone is going to errupt in a massive volcanic erruption but don't know when since it's well over-due for one. I'd prefer mother earth leaves us alone up here, we don't need EQs and tornadoes thanks !

 

I have never heard of earthquakes from that area...

I have a co-worker from southern Ontario (that's in Canada for you Califiornian's ) and he too has never heard of an earthquake in Ontario (or Quebec)...
