Earthquake

At 1:45 PM today we had an earthquake roll through southern and eastern Ontario. I was sitting at my desk and the whole house started shaking and groaning. My computer screen was rocking back and forth intensely. I immediately sent chat note to my son who lives outside of Ottawa and they felt it too. That's nearly 400 Km away! I'm going to watch the news!

John: Where are you located? We're in Eganville, Ontario and had a pretty big rumble roll through here about 20 minutes ago about 1:50 p.m. EDT
