I didn't feel a thing either. (7th floor apartment, Toronto, Ontario).
Think I was doing dishes at the time. Only heard about the quake after
a friend coming to visit me, called on the phone saying she didn't
want to come into the building. She didn't actually feel the quake
either, but was hanging outside with a number of other building
residents milling around.
I first felt a quake about 20 years ago. Remember thinking I was a
little dizzy or perhaps was having stroke or something. My friend who
is Dutch, had never felt a quake before. Took me a good ten minutes on
the phone to talk her into coming up to my apartment. Tried hard not
to tease her or to laugh at her concerns. Women get mad at that sort
of thing.

I felt it in S.E. Michigan. At first, I wondered if I had too little sleep
and too much coffee.

It wasn't much. I thought it might be heavy construction equipment or a fly
bye from the Air Guard at first. Aksi, I was in the upper part of the
RenCen, The building sway may have made it more noticeable than at ground
level.
Hmmm. I didn't feel a thing (also in SE Michigan)
Maybe once you've been in a 7.5 a mere 5.5 doesn't even register??

That might do it, I was in Troy at the time.

When you get to be my age you can do what I do. I set my phone to
vibrate, put in my front pocket and wait for someone to call me.

Had one during an interview. So much for that!
"oh yeah, that guy"
I got a kick out a article on the quake that mentioned that according to
users on Twitter, "The strongest tremors were felt in Canada"
Duh?
