Puzzle Description:

Who felt the earthquake yesterday? It was a 5.9 magnitude and went all over the East Coast.

i did in hershey, pa

I was outside talking to my neighbour,i didn't feel it but Niki and the kids did.Were in St Catharines,Ontario,Canada.

Wow, I didn't know it went that far north!

I felt it in Maryland, near Baltimore.

I also felt it in Montreal Quebec (even further north than St.Catherines, Ontario).

I'm near the epicenter. It sounded and felt BIG in the house. Everything was vibrating. Outside it wasn't bad at all.

Hey John,always nice to hear from a fellow Canadian,hope your a Habs fan like me.I've been to Montreal a couple of times,great city,but i really love Old Quebec.

This quake really went around! Joel, I'm in Maryland too. :)

great seismograph track!

I have friends that felt it in Chicago. I didn't notice it. But my husband definitely felt it at his office (in Charleston, WV). They evacuated and sent everyone home. I'm kind of upset I didn't feel it, how often can someone east of the Mississippi say they felt an earthquake!

This is the third time I've experienced an earthquake in the mid-Atlantic area, the others were while I was living in Fairfax, VA, I know one was in December 2002.

I did not feel the one the other day (I am in Maine), but have felt two others in my long life.

I've felt two earthquakes in my lifetime - both centered in the Adirondacks and nearly exactly 20 yrs apart. I didn't feel this one because I was outside and active (although my daughter did - she was still in bed). This is the first one to actually cause any "damage" by me. It knocked over one of my daughter's models, and about an hour after the quake, one of my buckets of Lego fell off a shelf. CRASH.

Thanks, Annalivia. It can also double as a crack in the ground from an extreme earthquake.

Hi Aldege, I'm somewhat of a Habs fan. I've spent most of my life in Toronto, and have been a Leafs fan all along, but it gets harder as the distance between 1967 and the present grows longer. (When I first started watching hockey on TV, back in the late 50's, I thought that Hockey Night in Canada was a TV show like any other - it had a script and the good guys won in the end. In those days, the Leafs managed to win every time I watched, or else would make a heroic effort to eke out a tie at the last minute. Since I played hockey myself, I admired the skill with which they appeared to be playing their hardest while actually following a script, Back in those days, I knew every player on every team - with only 6 teams you got to see every team many times through the season.)

It's certainly easier to cheer for the Habs these days, and safer too when I'm living in Montreal. I haven't been to Quebec City for a number of years now, but it's a beautiful city witha great deal of old world charm. (Montreal has that too, but with a greater cosmopolitan flair. I certainly love being in Montreal.)

Glad you didn't say "Dealt it."

I live East of the Mississippi (just barely) and can say I've felt several earthquakes ... but that's only because I was born and raised in California.

Didn't feel the one you're referring to, however.

I was just sitting around and all the sudden i felt a rumbling and didn't know what it was. Hershey, PA

in response to catelyn...

usually that means diarrhea is on its way
