I live off of Bonnie Oaks and I felt it. There is a lot of construction going on in this area and I thought that they may have been blasting. But I certainly felt the vibrations because the house tremble for a couple of seconds.

I live in a brick ranch

I live in a brick ranch house in SE Cleveland about 3 miles from the epicenter of this quake and my whole house "vibrated" for about 4 or 5 seconds. It was enough to rattle the dishes and shake the pictures on the wall. My husband was taking a nap and it woke him up.
