There was resulting seismic activity in Massachusetts, but very faint.  I was driving when the waves hit, so I didn't notice a thing.  My friend Nick was at work and felt a weird sort of aura.  He was dizzy for a few seconds like he couldn't catch his equilibrium...then it was over.  Nothing even shook down here, but it was detectable.

It also happened 35 km from Ottawa.  When they said Ontario, I was asking where.  Ontario, geographically, is about 3/5 uninhabited wilderness running all the way to Hudson's Bay!  This one happened right near the population center, that's why we're even talking about it.

Yeah, I felt the ground shake a little. I saw a couple of wall ornaments that were hanging by strings sway back and forth, too. I thought they were doing some construction work in the next room, or something.

Nadda here in northeast Ohio. Some co-workers noticed slight tremors elsewhere in the neighborhood, but were in high-rises where the shaking is usually amplified.

I didn't notice anything here, but Dai said some people ran out of the office building at his work.
