Earthquake!

Ottawa was hit with a magnitude 5.5 earthquake today. The epicenter was just north of town.

I was in the office at the time. The first rumbles started, and then it really started to shake. We evacuated the building. At home there’s no damage; one of my two monitors tipped over from its stand and knocked over one of my external drives; that’s about it.

It was kind of interesting to be outside at the time, seeing everyone else on the street being on at the same time.
