So, I was in an earthquake...

So, yeah... quick journal today... thought it was worth noting.
So, at around 1:30pm today, from central Ontario (around the Ottawa area) to a few places in the northern United States, there was a 5.5 magnitude earthquake.
And yeah... I live in this area, so I kinna felt it...
...not so much as other people in the area (my mom was a bit nuts about it all).
Some places apparently took some damage (I saw a highway bridge on the news somewhere collapsed partly), but for the most part, it was just a 5-10 second shake. Considering that I'm living about 50 miles away from a cement plant that detonates ground charges every day around 2pm or so (which shakes the area a bit more than the quake did), this really wasn't panic-worthy to me.
Anyways, if anyone else was in the vicinity of the earthquake (and was awake to realize it... *ahem*), feel free to discuss your reactions.
