SAGINAW, MI — Did you feel it?

An earthquake in Quebec, Canada, this morning, Friday, May 17, caused some vibrations for residents in Saginaw and throughout southeast Michigan.

The 5.0 earthquake happened at 9:43 a.m. southwest of Ottawa, Canada, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.

Saginaw County 911 received one report from the Saginaw County Health Department, 1600 N. Michigan, that the building was swaying, according to director Tom McIntyre.

Sheryl, an employee who works on the fifth floor of the building said she was the only one in the office this morning when the building began to move.

"It was more like a swaying," she said, estimating that she noticed the movement about 10:30 a.m. or earlier. Several others down the hall also felt it, she said, and the building administrator reported the movement to Saginaw County 911.
