I could feel the earthquake in Dresser’s Inc. on the second floor. I felt it move a little bit and heard the roof creeking.
Felt it on the second floor of the First National Bank Port Allegany, PA. Thought someone hit the building at first but then felt the second tremor and knew it was an earthquake. No one else is reporting two tremors but we felt two distinct and seperate ones here. Still have goose bumps!
I felt more of a rolling feeling…
I’m in Erie, Pennsylvania too. I felt the earthquake. I’m sitting in an office and could feel the chair I was sitting in shaking. The ceiling sounded like it was going to fall in, and I could feel the entire building around me shaking. No one else in my office felt it. They didn’t believe me about it, now they do!

Although I felt the one we had several ears ago, I did not feel this one at all – but then again I was driving and would not have known the difference unless a bridge fell…
I had to get a nap for my 11- 7 shift. Had just settled in when my bed lurched and swayed, here in Emporium.
