If you felt the earth shaking this afternoon, that was the 5.5 quake that hit Ottawa around 1:45. As far south as Kingston, NY, they were evacuating buildings:
In Kingston, firefighters ordered the evacuation of buildings on Wall Street, the uptown shopping district. Firetrucks and people lined the street as firefighters went door to door checking out buildings.
A Facebooker on Kingston Neighborhood Watch's page says she felt it in Kerhonkson:
i thought i was dizzy or they were shaking the house taking off the shingles on the roof!
By the time it got to the Daily Star's territory, it seems to have petered out a little:
Charles Brown in the town of Hartwick said the ground shook in a way similar to a large truck passing on state Route 205, but there was no truck in the area. Brown said he was inside his home at the time and a change container on a table also shook.
