Nope o-o i'm at toronto, don't think anything happended my fridge was shaking though.
It wasn't huge. I was laying in bed and when I started shaking, I thought I was just shivering from the cold. But in the last 10 minutes there's been like 50 facebook status updates claiming they felt it too, and I've had a few people in Toronto say they felt it as well (I'm in Oshawa).
got a phone call about it, didn't know Ontario had many earthquakes.
We don't, which is why this is so surprising lol

yea Vancouver gets them fairly frequently through the summer months.
it's that global warming I tell you..
Explain how global warming pertains to earthquakes?
I live in Michigan and I didn't feel it but areas around where I live did, they said it was a 5.0 or 5.5 level earthquake on the Richter Scale.
I heard Columbus OH (the center of ohio) felt it mildly.
Hm, that is very odd. Canada NEVER has Earthquakes. Well, Ontario anyway.
Where was the Quake the most severe?

Near the Ontario/Quebec border apparently, it still wasn't very severe though
The midday quake was felt in the city of Toronto in Canada and in a number of U.S. states, including Michigan, Vermont and New York.
The USGS said the quake occurred at a depth of about 19.2 kilometres. The quake occurred at 1-41 p.m. EDT (1741 GMT).
pretty rare having a quake up there. eh?

I live in downtown of Montreal and I really felt the floor moving. They've reported serveral damages to roofs of certain houses but no one was injured. The most severe earthquake in Quebec was in 1963 with an magnitude of 6.9 on the Richter scale. Does global warming cause earthquake? No. Evrey 20 to 30 years, there's a big earthquakes period and we're currently entreing this period. Haiti is just a kind of "preview" of this period. I'm sure that there will be other earthquakes even stronger maybe in California because of San Andreas. There's almost 99% of chance that a big major severe earthquake will happen in Japan and they are just waiting for it. Let just hope that what happened to Haiti don't happens again.
