Magnitude 5.0

The ground shook today….

…and of course, someone whipped out their camera to film…

fish tanks were rocked from Quebec to Cleveland!

There was some damage close to the epicenter

But here in Kingston, it just felt like someone was shaking my chair. I have never felt an earthquake before–once I was sure that things here had stopped moving I called my family to ask if they felt it too, and then turned to Twitter to get updates.  Breaking news flooded in from so many shaken people way before anything popped up on the USGS map.

I learned something today….I had no idea that we had fault lines near Ottawa.  I thought the Canadian Shield was pretty solid.

New top secret project, inspired from today, is on the needles.  Photos to come once there’s significant progress made!
