It was about 1:45 pm this afternoon when I felt the earthquake for the first time in my life! I was at work, sitting at my desk when suddenly everything around me started to vibrate. There is a construction going on not far from our building, so I thought maybe it's the heavy equipment causing it. Then, my co-workers asked if I felt something. Then Joe called me from work. He works about 30 miles from my work. My friends got calls from family in Montreal, Ottawa and Michigan.  The center of this earthquake (magnitude of 5.0) was at a depth of 12 miles, northeast of Ottawa. We are in the Greater Toronto Area which is only 4-5 hours away. Nothing has happened, it was just weird. I have never experienced an earthquake before. They were predicting tornadoes for this afternoon, no one mentioned the earthquake.

Apparently, people in Ohio, Michigan, New Jersey, Connecticut and New York State felt it. Tell us if you did.
