Earthquake!!!!
Did anyone feel it!??!? Said there was a 5.5 somewhere in Ontario, and reports that it was felt here in mid-Michigan! Unfortunately, I was driving home, so at the time I didn't feel it....
Pretty rare for this part of the country!!!!

They said it was near Ottawa Canada. People felt it as far as New York and Ohio too.

I felt it very well. Rumbling sound, everything shaking and moving at the office for about 30 secs. Some office buildings downtown have been evacuated to assess if any damage occurred. It was still a fairly mild one, so I can't imagine how a "real good one" feels like. We're less than 100 km away from the epicentre (30-50km N of Buckingham, QC).
