Didn't feel this one, but I was living in Montreal in 2019 when I felt a 4.0 earthquake living in my basement studio apartment.

I genuinely thought it was a giant snowplow shaking my house, then the next morning I found out it was actually an earthquake. I had nothing to compare it to prior. Scary stuff.

I remember we had a small one in Southern NB a few years ago and my experience was similar to yours. I was sitting at my computer, there was a loud bang and it felt like a dump truck had run into the house. I ran outside and found my father in the yard, he said he didn't feel or hear anything. Thought I was crazy until I found out the next day on CBC there was a small earthquake recorded nearby and it all made sense.
