For sure - no damage at all. It felt like a big truck, or I should say, it SOUNDED like a big truck. Lots of rumbling.
There was a big one in Montreal about 30 years ago enough to cause damage to some buildings. The Montreal East City Hall was damaged enough to make it unsafe. It was torn down and rebuilt about a year later.
