As would be mentioned, the significant other mentioned the earth moved a little bit more during our "afternoon delight" today!

I work in the downtown core and there is some work going on over at the present site of the Good Time Bingo hall soon to be the new RCMP station and the crew that was over there was using a machine that caused a pounding sensation, just wondering if that is what they were feeling as in my office building which is a block away from HSBC we felt the "earth moving" all day

If they were driving piles at the construction site that would probably be the cause of the shaking. When i was living in kelowna they were driving piles about 1km from my house and i could feel it and the shaking was pretty significant.
