earthquake in Ontario/ Quebec...
Bloody hell. Just had a small earthquake in Toronto. I assumed at first it was the effect of the earlier pints but not so. Bit scary on the 18th floor and glad I am not in the 57 storey building next-door....

Big debate here, "did ya feel that?", "did you wobble?". I did not but I blame the G20.

Re: Earthquake!
IS that what that was? Wasnt much out here, but something weird happened about ten minutes ago...sort of a percussive wave like when they are blasting at the quarry half a mile away.

[QUOTE=Novocastrian;8652100]CBC say it was felt in the GTA, Ottawa & Montreal. No damage reported so far.[/QUOTE]
Does that include damage to underwear? I've experienced earthquakes. Nothing that made things shake like that, though.
I won't try to pretend that I wasn't a tad alarmed.

Well Flederman said he felt a little jolt and the light started swinging. I was in the kitchen at the kitchen sink and noticed 'something odd'.
With that and the storm and tornado watch for today I'm off to break out the Bombay.
I blame this G8 business
