Didn’t feel anything here by UB north. I’ve been sort of in the zone though so I dunno. ---

Details: [http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/recenteqsww/Quakes/usc0005ild.html](http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/recenteqsww/Quakes/usc0005ild.html) a 5.9 is a decent hit, but I wouldn’t expect any major damage. ---

Depends on where you were when it happend in relation to the ground I think. People in cars in Amherst didn’t feel a thing… same with the guy in the elevator. On the 3rd floor of our new “trampoline” building it felt like someone was shaking my desk and at the same time someone was shaking me in my chair. ---
