Sorry guys, I had some burritos for lunch and I couldn't hold it anymore...... feel so relieved now...



It was noticeable but not scary, nothing fell down or anything. This is the 2nd earthquake I've felt so far in Montreal.



The epicentre of the quake was in Quebec, about 38 kilometres north of Cumberland, Ont., which is on the Ottawa River, according to the U.S. Geological Survey, and struck at 1:41 p.m. EDT at a depth of 18 kilometres.

It shook pretty hard here in Ottawa. We're only 60km from the epicenter.

It was kind of cool - I've never felt one before. Apparently we get small ones regularly, but you normally can't feel them.

Saw some clips on TV today. Pretty strange seeing it happen in Southern Ontario.

I felt it. I thought my house was haunted and some thing was shaking my desk back and forth. Thought I was spending too much time in front of the computer.

Pretty confusing until I heard about the quake.

Scary shyte!

My son and his friend were in the basement and didn't feel a thing. Weird!

Guys - in Ottawa I literially thought my house was coming down. The pots were shaking in the pot rack, pictures fell off the wall. I live in Cumberland which was only about 20 miles from the EpiCenter.

That must have been a little unnerving.
