seems epicentre was gatineau/montreal/ottawa

http://news.blogs.cnn.com/2010/06/23...canada/?hpt=T2 - lots of postings from people and their locations where it was felt.

my walls were shaking, plates were rattling on wall/siding outside house was rattling and i felt it thru the floor. my mum on her 11th floor felt it and her rocking chair was rocking on its own.
i was on phone with lisa who was at her college and felt it walking thru the halls..

there are quakes from below lake ontario but nothing strong like this one.

Pretty spooky. It sure seems like there's been an unusual number of them this year. As Lightfoot penned : "Every nation's gonna be shaken".

Char,

They have said that some people here in Northeast Ohio (Cleveland) felt it but I did not.

I was too intently reading all of the interesting posts here at Corfid to notice.

My daughter felt it in Saratoga Springs, thought at first it was some weird new aura (she gets migraines.) Our dog slept through it, and I never noticed though others did nearby. If I'd been upstairs I might have noticed a sway.

First images of the extensive damage inflicted by Wednesday's earthquake that hit Southern Ontario are now trickling in.

the rumblings were actually caused by pissed off Canadians who are mad about the One Billion $$ being spent on security for the G8-G20 dog and pony shows going on 3 hours north of Toronto this weekend and next week in Toronto.
