It was pretty strong in Ottawa! They were evacuating all the buildings and a bunch of car alarms were going off.

I was sitting on my couch in central NY and it started shaking, I thought it was my dog leaning on it while he scratched himself or something. My sister thought the same thing about my parent's bed where she was watching TV

everyone always freaks out on facebook. most of those people have nothing better to do. have you seen the groups on it? "I SURVIVED THE EARTHQUAKE IN OTTAWA ON 23/06/10" if someone was killed by that earthquake they had bigger problems

I felt it in Ontario pretty good. I sorta just ignored it and didn't really thing much of it till my mom came inside and was like "Did you feel something?" and then told me there was an earthquake.

Eh... Nothin too big. a 5.7 isn't enough to knock you off your feet...

Where I come from, its barely newsworthy if its not 6+ (the difference between a 5.7 and a 6.0 is quite a huge amount, by the way)

5 pointers hit the west coast all the time though... Claudia feels the same sentiments as I do, chillin down there off the Nazca plate...
