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.

I live forty miles from Toronto, and felt nothing.

This isn't new, though. We do get small quakes every few years; the Great Lakes and the St. Lawrence River exist because of a mid-continental plate fault. It's along the same lines as the New Madrid fault, but generates 4.0s and 5.0s instead of 7.0s and 8.0s.

The only one I've ever felt was around '82-'83. I was in science class and it knocked the teacher on his ass because he was sitting with one buttcheek on a tall stool trying to look all suave when it hit.
