So yeah, I don’t have much experience but Amherst just had an earthquake that was big enough for everyone in my building to feel it. We were watching the water slosh around in the cup on my desk. Confirmed with the wife who works about 4 miles away. [http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/recenteqsww/Quakes/quakes\_all.php](http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/recenteqsww/Quakes/quakes_all.php) 5.5 just N.E. of Ottawa, Ontario. ![http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/recenteqsww/Maps/10/285_45.gif](http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/recenteqsww/Maps/10/285_45.gif) And it’s hit CNN. > **[5.0 magnitude quake strikes Canada; no major damage](http://news.blogs.cnn.com/2010/06/23/usgs-5-5-magnitude-earthuake-strikes-canada/?hpt=T2)** > > \[Updated at 5:20 p.m.\] U.S. Geological Survey has revised the earthquake's preliminary magnitude to 5.0.
