I felt the quake... you?

1:41pm a quake hit 53 km from Ottawa today. I felt my couch shake in the basement and was wondering who was behind it shaking it. No one. By the time I looked for fluid to see if I was imagining it, the tremor had stopped. Radio confirmed it happened though.

Anyone else feel it? I hear Ottawa and Toronto buildings were evacuated.

  1. My Mom phoned me just after it happened. She lives only 5 minutes away (Hamilton Mountain) and was sitting in a chair watching tv. I was also sitting in my own living room with my daughter and we didn't feel a thing. Pretty scary though. Charlene

  3. Didn't feel a thing. Yet they evacuated Windsor's city hall square. U.S. Geological Survey gave it a 5.5 rating!
