[Potent News Editor’s note: I just felt this in Ottawa approximately 20-30 minutes ago and had a feeling it was an earthquake but at the time I passed it off thinking it might be a heavy truck in the distance… turns out it was an Earthquake.  What I felt was fortunately dramatically less shaky than the 5.0 I felt here 3-4 years ago.]
