Where are you Ally? The joke on Twitter is that Quebec is finally separating ;)

Hi Ally, I am in Ottawa in a Fed building and OMG that was just insane!!
Didn't "feel" like an Earthquake in our building. It jumped our floor and the window bellowed... GULP! <still freaks me out now, and it is 6:05pm, and it was at 1:41pm>
This is my THIRD earthquake ... 1 in California in 1994, and 2 in Ottawa in 2006, now this ... <breeeeeeeeeeeath>

This dang thing was 40 - 50 Kms from where I was working and WOWZA it was quite the shake rattle and roll.

Sammirocks (Lori) found this clip that everyone was talking about too.

It only lasted about 30 seconds here in upstate NY but it sure shook me up so I can only imagine how those of you up there felt! It's the third one I've actually felt. The first one was at my mom's house in Washington state in 1999, the next was at my own home in Idaho in 2008, and now this one. Gotta say that each one has felt kind of the same, like where I was in the house was just kind of moving in a way that I knew it shouldn't! Today I was in my chair and it felt like it was rocking from side to side!

I'm still feeling shakey.. I was freaked, calm, just loopy and sugar type high on Twitter, now freaked again.

Sigh...Just glad it didn't do damage.

Didn't do damage? I think the town of Val des Bois, Quebec would beg to differ. They lost a bridge because of it. That said, Quebec isn't exactly known for the stability of its bridges, so it likely would have collapsed eventually anyway, but the quake sure hurried it up.

I'm so glad that you all are alright and no one is hurt. We've grow accustom to earthquakes in California. Been through my fair share and they can be so unnerving. I'm hoping you guys don't have to go through anymore in your lifetime.

We all surried out of our Government offices here in Ottawa... we were not sure what was going on for a bit... everyone felt something 'different'. My office shook up and down in the downtown core, and my apartment building (according to my friend) swayed left to right for a good bit. Then I talked to the Apartment manager and he said he thought it was a broiler blowing then he realised he had had them turned off....

Hi everyone
..I'm in Ottawa too and it was CRAZY! I am on the ground floor at work and I thought the building was falling down..lol. When I got home my poor dogs were so freaked out and my pictures had fallen off the walls in the basement.
