I'm curious as to how many of you guys felt the earthquake this afternoon, and what your reaction was. I honestly didn't feel it, but many other people I work with felt it (even people just down the hall).

It happened in Canada. I felt it here, the house shook for a little bit. I thought it was construction equipment or something.

I didn't feel a thing but others I talked to said they felt shaking. The earthquake, which was hundreds of miles away in southern Quebec, was only a 5.5 anyway.

Myself, my husband and kids all felt it. Our whole house was shaking. We went outside to see if any of our neighbors felt that or if it was just our house. A few of our neighbors came out and of course all had felt it. Crazy!

Haha, I would've never known about it if I hadn't read this topic.

One of my buddies at Paychex corporate HQ told me the building was evacuated and they called in some engineers to check the building.
