Earthquake

A magnitude-5.5 earthquake struck at the Ontario-Quebec border region of Canada at 1:40 p.m. EDT today, shaking homes and businesses from Toronto to Rochester, NY and was also felt in parts of Michigan and Vermont.

At the time of the earthquake I was 100 miles south of Rochester, in Ithaca, NY, where all was still and peaceful. Visitors to Taughannock Falls climbed the gorge and snapped pictures, completely unaware of what the earth was doing a few hours to the north.

Of course, after experiencing a 7.5 in California in 1999, I might not have noticed what happened today!
