Earthquake

Did anyone feel a very faint rocking to and fro today around 1:30PM or so?
I though I was having a vertigo moment even though I never had one in my life.
It felt as if my chair was rocking back and forth slightly at my computer. I shrugged it off as a menopause moment. I happened to turn on NY1 news and the breaking news was an earthquake in Canada felt as far down as Queens and Central Park.
I called some folks I knew and they said they didn't feel a thing.
I am on the top floor of a 14 story building in Clinton Hill.
Anyway, just wanted to see if anyone else felt it.

    Yep. I was on the top floor also in CH, and felt the building sway. At first I thought it was me, but just found it on the news. (Whew! Not crazy!)

    I work in Harlem and we lost power very briefly. We're on the ground floor, so felt no shaking, but losing power was wild! My first earthquake.

    It was centered on Virginia.

    AT&T cell service is down.

    Are subways running?
