USGS is reporting a 3.9 near the center of Montreal at 12:19. I definitely felt it here in Vermont! My house SHOOK.

(224 posts)I am from CO and never felt a quake, then moved to SF in June of 89. Of course we had a big one on Oct 17, I thought I was going to die. Nothing is stranger than feeling your world literally shift under you.

One big earth-shaking *BOOM*, it was.

(18,791 posts)When I first moved here, I slept through about my first 3 or 4, while roommates were up running around in a panic.
However, with the Whitter quake, I ended up running out onto the front lawn, naked (I worked all night and had only been
in bed a hour or two)! Then the Northridge one had us hanging onto the bed for dear life as it bounced up and down
on the third floor of our condo (didn't like that one a bit!)
