   Yes, there was a quake in NE Ohio today near Youngstown but it was only 2.6 magnitude.  People 10 miles away reported feeling the quake.

2.6 could be a heavy truck hitting a pothole.  We have 2s and 3s all the time.  Nobody even notices until they hit the mid 4s.

  Thus the reason for the rolling eyes and wink. 

EDIT ADDED: It's just an intersting occurence. They don't happen all the time around here. People up here did feel the bigest of the  New Madrid quakes.  I felt one here about 20 years ago.

  It looks like it is spreading out of control! Could it be.....contagious?

Rumor has it that Wxforum member MMorris spied a small tsunami in his coffee cup when it happened.

Didnt feel that one in Toronto, like the 5.0 last summer.

If that one had hit this week, people would still be running, especially in Pickering.

That's not an earthquake.  That's just an outburst of hot air in Ottawa.
