Wife and dog just felt the earthquake in the house. I was drinking beer on the patio and didn't feel anything. I am helpless as anybody in finding out what really happened.
I'm on kilmarnock Is. (located off Hwy 43 b/w Smiths Falls and Merrickville) and I sure felt it! My house was shaking and the windows were rattling like mad...I was pretty scared for a sec.
I'm in Mississauga on 17th floor. Saw lamps and book shelf swaying amplitude about an inch about .5 hz. I am getting twitter reports from northern New york to Montreal.
1:43 pm, I'm sitting here at my computer and everything in this one-story, ranch-style house is shaking. It struck me as how I'd imagine a huge army tank would feel, rumbling by.
In Kingston Ontario, felt "someething" at approximately 1:50pm! The ground was moving side-to-side, with some vibration, for about 10-15 sec. I've felt this sort of thing in Ottawa before, but not in Kingston.
Not a speck of real information here! It needs to be somewhere near an M6, but the local zone is probably not in communication! The Ottawa earthquake site is blown out.
Yesh certainly an earthquake. I was in office n my chaior started shaming and my Lab equipment was shaking as well. I'd say not a very huge shakeup but definitly not non-noticeable n scary too.
I was outside and didn't feel a thing in Burlington although I did hear a rumble that I thought was a construction truck, now I am wondering. We are on stiff clay just below the escarpment - could that be the reason I didn't feel it?
Calls from family in Ottawa and Aylmer QC. Felt it more (per their description) than I did in Kingston. Ottawa, pictures shook on wall (apartment building in Downtown) the rumbling and then over before you knew what hit. Power went out in that building. Kingston, just a rumble, looked outside thinking it was a large truck or something. No other weirdness. Aylmer QC, in a mall, my sister heard weird noice in the ceiling of the store she was in and then the shaking. She ran outside.
Is there a map anyone knows of off hand to view the fault lines throughout Canada?
Bet Google Earth is getting a lot of hits right now!! Stay safe all.
