I was wondering how many people have felt/been in an earthquake. Please vote in the poll and post when/were you felt the earthquake and the exact magnitude. I have been in one earthquake. It was right here in Ottawa, magnitude 4.5 in early 2006. Honestly I wasn't even aware that we could have earthquakes here until then. Apparently even large earthquakes are possible, although extremely rare here in eastern Canada.
EDIT: We had a 5.0 a few months after I created this poll. Often the Moment Magnitude number can be deceiving depending on the depth and location of the earthquake so I posted the intensity map of the our quake with my location. Intensity maps of most significant earthquakes are located here (link) so you can find yours and post too.
