Tremors from a 5.0 earthquake in Canada were felt from all the way down here in Western Massachusetts on Wednesday afternoon.
Although Springfield is over 350 miles
from the quake's epicenter outside Ottawa, Canada, the quake caused minor disruptions throughout the Pioneer Valley.
The Associated Press reported that Morgan Moschetti, a seismologist with the U.S. Geological Survey, said it was not unusual for an earthquake to be felt 300 miles from its epicenter, noting that this quake was felt from Chicago to Maine.
