Well now, THAT was fun.

Just as the Ion Interactive webinar was coming to a close what should happen but rattle, rumble, shimmy and shake - IT'S A QUAKE!

Apparently, it was a 5.5, centered just north of Gatineau...

 

Trying to embed the epicentre map, but apparently I bite at such endeavours!

So far, the funniest Tweet I picked up was

@ColinTulloch "Quebec is finally separating!"

@wheresmymindmi l One disadvantage of Twitter: it makes you bored with things that happened 10 minutes ago. Earthquake? I've moved on.

@Just_for_laugh s Almost everyone in MTL thought the 5.5 earthquake was "just construction" In other news, our construction standards have hit an all-time low
