Did You Feel The Earthquake?

So I guess this happened:

A rare earthquake, measuring magnitude-5.5, struck at the Ontario-Quebec border region of Canada on Wednesday, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. The midday quake was felt in the city of Toronto in Canada and in a number of U.S. states, including Michigan, Vermont and New York.

This article notes that tremors were felt in Brooklyn (Twitter produced claims of rattled parrots), but I don’t buy it. (I’m not saying Brooklyn doesn’t DESERVE an earthquake, I’m just saying that this one wasn’t it.) I guess if we want a real natural disaster we will just have to wait until the oil makes its way up here.
