WOW!!! My first eathquake, well actually tremour, but none the less kinda scary / freaky. Anyone else feel that quake around 1:41pm? A 5.0 - 5.7 (news can't seem to get it straight) quake was centered near Ottawa, I live in Sudbury, Ontario and felt it. As I said, pretty freaky seing things shake for no reason, not knowing what's going on.

It's all over the news around here.

"It was felt across southern and eastern Ontario and western Quebec, as well as in some U.S. states, including Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Vermont, New Jersey and New York."

Felt it on the 16th floor of my Toronto office building. Ten seconds in, I decidede loudly that it was a great time for a smoke break.

The rest of the floor (and building) proceeded to follow me out. Pretty freaky stuff, especially here, where an earthquake is the last thing you expect!

I didn't feel the earthquake. Probably because I was in a bus when it happened.
Oh well. Good thing that earthquake wasn't any stronger.
