So Ottawa and I don't know who else just had a Small Earthquake about 10 minutes ago!

I couldn't tell u. It's pretty rare for us to have a earthquake though.

Ottawa too? I've just heard on the radio that there was one in Montréal also. Not much else is known so far either. O_o

We had a 4.5 here in VA a few years ago. It certainly startled me. They're pretty rare for my area too.

I got reports that Toronto felt it as well. It's to early yet to know the size. Nothing is on the news yet. It made my big computer desk move side to side little though.

Uh oh! I hope no one was injured! Even small ones can make plates and things fall out of cabinets. I know we had a small one down here about two years ago and it made a large bowl fall off out of the cabinet and hit me in the head. I blacked out for a while but it was scary.

Turns out they think it was a 5.5 and about a hours drive north of ottawa is where it started.

I think that was Quebec trying to separate from Canada and moving closer to the US.*giggles*

Where in Ohio are you, Nevar? I've been at work all day and didn't get anything, but I'm just northwest of Columbus. That's pretty crazy, though, must have been a decent-sized quake to be felt that far. O.o

Heh, we felt it as far as Massachusetts. That's about 400 miles away. =P It's rare to ever feel Earthquakes around here.
