Nope--didn't even know about it till I saw this post. Looks like it happened about 3am? Even if "technically" it was felt here, we probably would've written it off as a KLM take-off...(thank you ambien!).
;-)

No, it was 15:00 hours, or 3 p.m. local time. If you didn't feel it, then that's good!

I agree with Ruth--it was a non-event for me.

The epicenter was actually quite aways away. http://gc.kls2.com/cgi-bin/gc?PATH=BON-DOM&PATH-UNITS=mi says 524 miles, which is like feeling an LA earthquake in Salt Lake City. Unheard of, no, but not common, either.
