"I felt it" reports:
BC / not felt: Does anyone know why this 5.9 quake is not recorded by USGS? I will attach a screenshot.
Grande Cache (30.7 km ENE from epicenter) [Map] / MMI V (Moderate shaking): Shook me out of bed this morning and knocked books off my shelf. No damage visible to my home but it was definitely strong
Grande Cache (115.4 km E from epicenter) [Map] / MMI III (Weak shaking): I was outside cleaning up my yard and the branches on the trees started shaking. My wife was inside and said she felt it strongly. This is the only site that says the earthquake exists so I’m very confused

Jasper (100.2 km NE from epicenter) [Map] / MMI VI (Strong shaking)
Fort McMurray / MMI III (Weak shaking): Definitely some movement here. It woke up my son and he came running to wake me because he had no clue what was happening. It was around when it happened but there is no reports of the earthquake existing so it might just be kids messing around
Edmonton / MMI II (Very weak shaking): I am in Edmonton Alberta and felt some light shaking. I am near train tracks so I assumed it was a train going by
