We just had an earthquake! My apartment building shook, things rattled, the dog woke up, and then my father called to tell me he felt it too. Neat!
Ottawa is built near a major fault; fortunately for us, it's not a very active fault. We do get shaken a little bit from time to time, though. I usually sleep through them (why do interesting things always happen at night?) - the only one I've ever felt before this happened around 6 am on January 1, 2000. Which I thought seemed appropriate somehow.
ETA: It's official - the USGS has our earthquake online: http://earthquake.usgs.gov/eqcenter/recenteqsus/Quakes/usjpad.php
Neato.
