Noticeable shaking on the 3rd floor of a concrete building in Cambridge, MA. Some people evacuated. Being a former LA resident, I deemed it minor and didn't bother.

#62The correct magnitude is 5.9. http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/recenteqsus/Quakes/us...
The initial report (from that link) was 5.8, they since updated it to 5.9.

#63Felt it in Brooklyn, thought I was having a warm up to an epileptic seizure. Did not like that feeling, not one bit.

#65Shook us up nice in Boston as well.
None of the people in my ground-floor office in Allston (a neighborhood in Boston) felt any tremors. However, my girlfriend's office in the Cambridgeport neighborhood of Cambridge shook, and was evacuated for about 20-30 minutes.
I'm down on the Fort Point Channel (landfill) and we were shaking pretty good up on the ninth floor.

#66Did not feel it in Michigan. But seriously, all these reports should be going to this site: http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/dyfi/events/us/c0005i...
I got a connection timeout error when that happened.

#67Just felt it in Toronto on the 9th floor. I was the only one that actually tried to leave the building. That worries me about what people would do in bigger earthquake.
And you will soon have a bunch of west-coasters screaming at you to stay the fuck inside.

I'm at the beach in Seaside Park and AT&T and Verizon networks are both overloaded. No one can make calls, send texts, or get a data connection.

#70Given their recent trend, I'm kind of surprised us-east-1 didn't fall over again since they're right in the middle of it.
(Yes, I'm worrying about our servers during an earthquake)
