As a friend in Cleveland posted on his Facebook page, "I felt the earth move....."

Reports of shaking came in from as far north as Hudson Bay, east to the heart of New Brunswick province and south into the United States including Boston, New York, Hartford, Rochester, Buffalo, Cleveland, Detroit, Pittsburgh, Columbus, Cincinnati, Chicago, Indianapolis, Louisville, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Milwaukee. No damage extended beyond very light, and no shaking beyond moderate (which was limited to localities in Canada and up-state New York.
