Just felt an earthquake

[Avro]

Sitting here at the office and the world just shook for about 10 seconds.

Cool!

I sure hope nothing bad happened, no buildings collapsing, or anything nasty.

Nah, we've had these before, just little ones.

Maybe a 2 or 3.

Good! Someone else felt it....

lol yeah I'm in TO now and just felt it--you got to post it first!

It was very light but I'm in a skyscraper and I'll just have to put my life in the hands of engineers.

Careful, they might think its a seismic terrorist/protester threat an up the security budget. :roll:

Turns out it was 5.5.

Quebec Ontario boarder was the epicenter.

Uh...dead?

It's natural that people show concern as this isn't a typical earthquake zone.

...Although from what I've seen, people mainly seem curious to know if it actually was an earthquake.

Magnitude 5.0 at a depth of 18,000 meters, according to my iPhone Earthquake app....

Latitude: 45.8622, Longitude: -75.4572 which puts it northeast of Ottawa.
