I did, at about 2pm today EST. Didnt realise what it was at first, but it scared the Bejeezus outa me! The house was shaking, and all was a-rockin'a little!
I believe it measured 5.5 on the scale, and was centered somewhere around 30 miles North of Ottawa. Definately affected us here in Northern NY State.

I felt something over here but i just thought it was you after a dodgy curry last night.....
I just read the news reports...thats where I come from and my loved ones are as well. By all reports there are no injuries, Just damages to buildings. Angels watch over.

It is rare here but it does happen from time to time....a fault runs near the St. Law. River I believe....I only remember one other time and it only took down a few chimneys..

Hope your family are all well and safe.
I will catch the news about it too. Very rare. Makes you believe in the power of nature for sure. Ive been through a couple of minors down here and thats enough.

In all seriousness, Ive never experienced anything like that before, so I was kind of freaked out for a few moments. I thought it was a local blasting company going at it, or something.
I can imagine how scary a big one is. This was bad enough, and was relatively minor.
My thoughts to anyone who was injured or who had property damaged.
