On June 23rd there was a small earthquake,with the centre being Ottawa area. It was wierd and quite exciting, the ground shook and there was a loud rumble for about 20 seconds. It was measured at 5.0 on the Richter scale and was felt as far as Ohio in America.
This is outside where I work, loads of people came out all the buildings onto the street. The government buildings were all evacuated and the workers got to go home, but the stores like mine stayed open, d'oh.
There wasn't much visable damage. The news reported pictures falling off walls and a broken chimney pot, so nothing major. The windows cracked on some high rise buildings, like above.
