    ditto, hope everyone is ok there.
    no reports of major damages coming for that area yet though, that's good news.

    I felt it here in Oshawa. I was sitting on the couch, then I felt myself start to rock in a north/south motion, then either the wall or the windows starting creaking. I was'nt sure if it was a earthquake or just me feeling like i'm about to pass out because of a bad head cold. But then my mom said was that an earthquake?! lol.

    Felt it in Ottawa. My husband who was in the suburb didn't know about it until I called him.
    A colleague is quite upset because although she was a floor underneath, she didn't feel anything.

    My husband was in the basement in his office and I was on the second floor and te cats and dogs were scared to pieces. Iwas siting on the bed on the computer working and the bed and shook side-to-side.It was a good one. Everything shook. It was fun. I was just more concerned that the dogs were outside and did not know what was going on but everything is fine. It was fun. Thanks for being concerned, I don't know about others if they were more affected than we were.

    When I walked in the break room a co worker's wife had just called him about it, but no one here felt it in Scarborough that I talked to.
