yes. The apartment here in Natick shook like a washer machine at 7 15.
Downstairs neighbor and I went outside to see what was happening. I lived in California and said that is what an earthquake feels like. No damage, all ok

I wonder why some people felt it so clearly, and others, nothing. Does a quake only affect certain areas, like a patchwork?

Hi Mary, Meg here. Grafton/Upton RR line just reopened in Hopedale and I assumed it was a train. Lived in CA and know quakes, went thru one in Ossipee, NH years ago, too, with kids (who never woke up), lol. Thought it was new train and wondered if it would be a daily occurance. Obviousky wrong and hope no one had any damage!

Weirdly, all the dogs in my hood started barking at once just before it hit. My cactus plants however, didn't react at all.

I felt it in Milford. Thought my cat was sharpening his claws on our bed. When I realized others felt it (not on the bed), we figured it was a big truck going by the house...

Whether or not you felt the quake depends on a few things. First, what kind of building you are in. The further up you are from the ground, the more likely the structure is to sway. Second, sturdy steel frame buildings are less likely to have that kind of sway on lower floors whereas wood frame buildings can flex more. My wife felt it on the second floor of our wood frame house (and heard it as a booming noise - like railroad cars banging together) but I did not, standing on a concrete floor in the back of Westborough's H.S. auditorium during Town Meeting.

Also, the kind of ground you are on makes a difference. If you are on soil made mostly have sands, gravels or clays - those soils will respond to quakes more than glacial till or bedrock.

Another factor is how near you are to very old faults that literally run from New Hampshire all the way down to Connecticut. These old faults (which don't produce quakes), may transmit seismic energy a long distance.

I was lying in bed watching TV and about 7:15 I felt the building move a little just once. I thought it was the kids downstairs running around.
