At approx 1:43pm today we experienced an earthquake here in Toronto! We've had minor quakes before, but this one was actually strong enough to scare both myself, and our two dogs.

According to news reports the quake was 5.5 and the epicenter was near Ottawa.

So far, all of our friends and family that I've touched base with are ok thank goodness, however I am still a bit shaken, and wonder if we'll feel any aftershocks here in the city.

With the oppressive heat, and severe thunderstorms that forecasters are now predicting will hit Toronto overnight, I'm starting to wonder if Gaia herself has joined with the G20 protesters.

What a day to be in Toronto!
