The quake struck at 1:41 p.m., 33 miles northeast of Ottawa, the nation's capital, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.

The temblor was felt in Maryland, New York, New Jersey and even parts of Michigan and Illinois, according to the USGS's reporting site.

Tremors up to a Modified Mercalli Intensity of 3 were reported in Towson and Baltimore, according to the USGS. An MMI of 3 is equivalent to the passing of a truck and can be felt more on upper floors of buildings.
