According to one resident, "It sounded like a train was coming then BAM got a jolt, then it rumbled away."
Another person said, "I live out on Norris road, just past Little Holland road, and it woke everyone in my house."
A man on Facebook explained shortly after the quake, "We felt it out in Churchill. Never been woke up before this one."
Dan, also on Facebook, said, "Sounded like someone hit my house with a truck. Yes, I know what that sounds like."
