This CA girl is wondering how a 5.9 garnered over 1,000 posts? Over here it's just called "Rock N Roll"!

I think these eastern earthquakes are felt over a much larger region, so there are a lot more of us who have something to say. I didn't feel it where I am, but my husband, who works at UofM Hospital in Ann Arbor, MI said that some clinics there were evacuated for a brief time because, apparently, some people in those clinics felt it and were concerned. We're about 450 miles away, as the crow flies, from the epicenter of the quake. Just out of curiosity, how far away might a quake of that magnitude be felt in your neck of the woods?

That's pretty hard to answer as it depends how far down into the earth the epicenter is.
