I felt it here in Ohio.

Link to National Resources Canada Earthquake Centre.

This was quite a bit north of Ottawa in the Canadian Shield.  Apparently there is a fault line there, but quakes of M 5 occur only about once a decade.

Interesting that this link was on the USGS site.

I felt it. It was a long one too. A pronounced side-to-side wobble here in Toronto.

I felt it here in Michigan...

It wasn't felt in Huron county according to my sources.  I certainly did not notice it, and I've been awake all day.

ITs obvious not everyone in the area felt it, however according to the USGS- the fault line in that area runs NW to SE- its not unheard of to have an occasional 6.0, that last one at that magnitude that caused significant damage was 1732, most recently in 1935. the shake map also revealed the quake was relatively "shallow" 12 miles deep below the surface, reports came from as far away as north Florida.

I felt it here in New Haven, CT. I was sitting at a traffic light waiting for the little green left turn arrow when it felt really weird that my truck was tipping back and forth side to side just ever so slightly. Very odd sensation indeed. I thought maybe I should stop smoking that damn LSD.

And just to add insult to injury, there was a tornado in Midland, Ontario the same day.  Midland is well within the bump of the quake.

Hmm... I was out biking around that time and I didn't feel a thing. Either Western Massachusetts was out of the way or my attention span is really that bad.

We never have natural disasters, I think I'd remember something like that.

must have been up-state New York. I live in the city and I didn't feel a thing, and I was awake way passed 1:41 am

It was felt in Detroit but not by me, I always miss the earthquakes...

But I didn't feel it in Stamford, and neither did anyone else in my house. Hmm...

I felt it during my exams, at first I thought it was just somebody furiously erasing something but the entire class felt it.

Second thought was a Tripod. Yes, I did watch War of the Worlds before going to my exam...

Whoever that guy is from the NDP (it was not Jack Layton) would have died if the quake had been M7 or M8.  He was more interested in gathering up his papers than evacuating the building.

Gives you an idea of the kind of people Layton has.  They are either very brave or damned fools.

It's a fine line.  I cross it all the time, much to my chagrin.

Yes, but did you ever regret it to the tune of being injured?

The local news here in Pittsburgh is continuing to make a big deal of this. Yet another reminder of how much I despise local news. I'm sure they're working on a story right now about how the quake effected some of the Steelers.

DATELINE! - Hines Ward's cookout disrupted by moderate shaking 600 miles away! Tongs dropped on patio.

Something like that.

I was in the middle of rushing around the house so I wasn't paying attention to even notice the shaking. My mother at work though saw the lights shaking and flickering a bit.
