Earthquake in Ontario
Earthquakes which can be felt are very rare in Ontario, in my 65 years, I remember only one, a 3.0, which was hardly noticeable. Well, tonight, very different! I thought that there had been a massive explosion nearby, I honestly thought that my office window was going to come in at me. I drove to check on the neighbours, and look for the fireball - nothing. I went to the local firehall, and got the trucks started and out the doors for the firefighters (I'm retired), and soon they came, responding to calls all over - but there was nothing to be found.
Earthquakes Canada and the USGS both put the epicenter 5 km from my house - yup! I believe that! If this was a 4.1, now I sure feel for people who suffer a 6 or 7! This was a massive jolt! The map is now showing that there have been nearly 2000 reports, from as far as 300 km away.
The only reported injury so far is only pride, our 80 pound dog jumping onto our daughter in bed!
