Reactors shutting down on the east coast on unusual events. So far no reports of anything outside of routine safety scrams though.

I still have a couple cracks in my patio from that 5.0 back in 2k8. The dishes all came out of the cabinets, and I had to pound a few nails back in the siding, but that's it. And that epicenter was a couple hundred yards away.

felt it briefly in Toronto. Was very weird. Sitting at my desk, and my chair felt wobbly and my desk started shaking.
Didn't feel anything :( . i always miss the earthquuakes.

Same here.  People on the 5th floor of our building felt it, and people on the 15th floor really felt it (and are still freaking out about it apparently).  I was out getting a sandwich around that time, so I felt nothing :mellow:

Yeah that made me laugh a lot too. I was like - common occurrence in California.

I didn't feel anything up here just outside of Boston; or it wasn't strong enough to notice.

Yeah, well the reporters themselves felt it. So it's the biggest thing in the universe.
