Wow. i'm in New Brunswick and haven't heard a thing. 4.6 seems pretty high for what we are used to in the region, hope they update that story soon.

Crazy

We had a 5.0 last summer near the same spot. It didn't do much and this one I didn't even feel. I am a good distance away but the last one at least had my fridge shaking.

im in moncton, never heard anything till i went to cbcnews.ca, a daily ritual, or just obessed with current events in this world.

There certainly isn't much info on that source page. I am leaving it up in case we need a screen capture of it.

There is nothing on RSOE EDIS about it?

I'm in Ontario and didn't feel it

RSOE EDIS say there is a 3.7

USGS has this one on their site earthquake.usgs.gov...

USGS states mag 3.7, not 4.7 CBC reports.

Didn't feel it on Southern Ontario

I am In SE Ontario and I didn't feel a thing.
Neither did anyone near me.

I felt a small rumble around that time, not sure if they were related, but definitely something seismic going on around here.

I'm in Ottawa and did not feel a thing.....Those coordinates give Hawkesbury Ontario, on the other side of the river from Mirabel Quebec.

Nevermind beaten to it

I think when the Mods made the Japan forum they should have just made an Earthquake forum instead.

If we are going to get a thread for every quake there is ATS is going to run out of server space.

Arkansas had a 1.9 around the same time.

There has been some odd earth quake, they are turning up in places you don't see very often. there was one in the middle of africa a couple of days ago.

I checked my usgs app on my iPhone.
It shows a 3.7 at depth 0.0. How could there not be any depth to a quake? Do they happen on top of the ground?

ahhhh that was the reason of this shacking
i though it was the dish washer machine from downstair

wasnt that strong .. my beer bottle didnt move

laster a few seconds
