To all my friends in Ontario.

Welcome to our world! The quake that just rocked Toronto would barely move us off the couch.

Damn, been too long since I felt a good quake.

Ah, that would do it. I'm sorry if my reply seemed to jump down your throat re: location - I didn't mean to be a jerk about it. (There's a tendency in media, including Canadian, and provincial aka Ontario media, to talk about Toronto as if it represents the whole country or the whole province, and non-Torontonians sometimes are a little oversensitive about it. I plead guilty there, having never lived in Toronto.)

I actually read in one of the articles that eastern quakes are felt more strongly than western quakes due to different densities of landmass, or something like that; interesting to read that. This also was apparently an intra-plate quake (I don't have a cite handy, will look it up when I can), which isn't as well understood.
