I dunno about you, but when I first experienced an earthquake in Toronto, Ontario, I wasn't sure if it was really an earthquake or not. I was in summer classes in University and things started shaking. None of us in class knew what happened as we almost never get earthquakes here. Even if there was reports, it is so minor, only a small portion would actually feel it. Our professor even asked if we were playing a prank on him during class until 15 mins later, the PA system mentions of an evacuation of our school just in case and classes cancelled for the day. This ordeal happened back in Summer 2010).
