Feel an earthquake in Eastern North America?

We were just outside the "secure zone" for the G20 when we felt the rumbling and shaking. Two large U.S. military/governmental helicopters (they said "United States of America" on the side) were taking off from just beside the CN Tower. Man those Americans have powerful helicopters we thought.

Felt it in Ottawa. It woke me up (yeah, took a sick day today), I ran outside and half the neighbours were out talking about it. I tried to call a few people, but for a couple minutes I couldn't get any calls out. It took about 5 minutes to start hearing sirens (ambulances?).

My mother lives closer to the epicenter (north of Ottawa), and portraits fell from the walls and she kinda freaked out.

Ground floor in Toronto, the house shook. Although that may say more about the house than the quake...

I was shocked when we felt it in Milwaukee minutes after already hearing about it.

But apparently at 6 km/s, it would take a full 3.5 (edit: more like 6) minutes for the seismic wave to travel from the epicenter to Milwaukee.

I felt it up in New Hampshire. I was sitting at a coffee shop on the second floor of a building and the building oscillated. However, it was not much more jarring than when large supply vehicles roll by an airport terminal. Consciously, I decided it was not an earthquake --- but at the same time, it did cause me to look out the window and decide that I could make it to the ground floor, if necessary, without breaking a bone.

A while back someone started a post about which disasters we were most unprepared for. A major Earthquake on the east coast should be pretty far up that list.

I'm in Western Québec, and was off today (tomorrow is also a provincial holiday). I was out biking, and had no idea what was happening. I got home, and my cats were hiding, and books were strewn everywhere, having fallen from the shelves. The only actual damage was a broke bulb from a fallen lamp.

Felt it in Toronto, on 10th floor, monitors we waggling all over the place. Strange feeling.

Felt it in Montreal. 8th floor of an office building. It took me a few seconds to know it was an earthquake. The windows of another building near us were shaking. My reaction was a little slow. Went away from the windows toward a support beam.

In Barrie, Ontario, it was quite gentle where I was. I thought I was developing a tremour, but then I noticed the wee containers of jam and marmalade at the coffee shop were shaking too. It was pretty gentle, and only lasted half a minute.

We felt it in Grand Rapids, MI, which is a ways from Quebec. A couple people in my office said, "What was that?!", but it took a moment to realize that those mysterious seconds of slow, deep swaying had been a distant earthquake.

I was on the phone with some one in New York, he was very surprised.

Here's a report from Hamilton, Ontario: http://www.raisethehammer.org/blog/1777/earthquake

It was a strange one here in Toronto - chair was swaying side to side, pretty strongly but slowly. Used to much sharper quakes.

We felt it (mildly) in Allentown PA - there was enough concern to evacuate the office building.

12th floor of an apartment building in Woodside Queens. The whole building was swaying.

People in my building in Ann Arbor, MI felt it. I didn't but I'm on the ground floor.

Felt it in Cincinnati, OH, too.

Felt it on the 13th floor in Cambridge, MA

Yes, in Ottawa - Near the epicenter.

Definitely felt it here in Vermont.

Nothing in Rochester.

Didn't feel anything.

Montreal.
