Was it felt in Ishinomaki?

The largest nearby quake this month, M4.5 at 79 km, may have been felt lightly in Ishinomaki by a rough rule of thumb (an M3 is typically noticed within a few tens of km, an M5 up to a few hundred km; local ground and building type matter a lot).

None of the quakes listed has "Did You Feel It?" reports in the USGS feed, which usually means shaking at the surface was weak or the area has few reporters.

If you felt shaking, you can report it to USGS; reports refine the intensity map within minutes.
