Dont see anything on the net </div></div>
In OTTAWA, it apparently registered 5.5 on the scale
I was in my basement so I did not really 'feel' it, more heard the rumbling - thought the whole house (all three floors) was going to come crashing down on top of me, and the hydro went out for more than 30 minutes. My son was in bed on the third floor - scared the crap out of him! He got up pretty quick though! Dog was a little nervous - hasn't left my side since.
Cell towers were affected...
Everything fine now - some still waiting for aftershocks if any.

<span style="font-weight: bold">Trailer park damaged after possible tornado strikes central Ontario</span>
<span style="font-style: italic">Residents in areas of Penatanguishine, Barrie, Collingwood and Orillia advised to take shelter as storm tears through region</span>
The Canadian Press Published on Wednesday, Jun. 23, 2010 7:31PM EDT Last updated on Wednesday, Jun. 23, 2010 8:24PM EDT
Police in Midland, Ont., say there is “quite a bit of damage” after a possible tornado struck the central Ontario community.
While details of injuries are unclear, there are reports that multiple patients, as many as eight, have been sent to Huronia General Hospital in Midland.
Smith’s Camp Trailer Park, located just outside Midland’s downtown core, suffered damage in the south end of its property, which houses seasonal trailers, around 6 p.m.
“I was outside kind of watching the rain come down fast and furious. The sky got black, the rain let up and I’m looking to see for a funnel cloud. I was looking for a funnel cloud,” said Karen, who works in the park’s store and would not give her last name.
“I heard this low rumble and I thought ‘That’s not like thunder at all.’ Then the next thing I knew, I heard the sirens and the cops, fire trucks, and the ambulances come in.”
She said a number of trailers were damaged and some may even be missing.
Midland sits along the southeast coast of Georgian Bay.
Environment Canada issued a tornado warning for Barrie, Orillia and the Penetanguishene area. The storm appears to have moved northward, with areas of Apsley, Woodview and Northern Peterborough County given a tornado warning at 8 p.m.
Emergency Management Ontario is urging people in the areas bordered by Penatanguishine to the north, Barrie to the south, Collingwood to the west, and Orillia to the east to immediately take shelter.
The red alert requires everyone in this area, including motorists and boaters, to go indoors immediately and seek shelter.
People currently outside this area are advised not to enter the area until further notice.
Environment Canada says radar indicates a severe rotating storm likely produced tornadoes in the Midland and Washago areas.
There are also reports of funnel clouds near Orillia, Ont.
Environment Canada says severe thunderstorms with tornadoes are imminent or occurring in the Midland and Orillia regions.
Residents are being advised to take immediate safety precautions.

lol.
i was part of the tremor that ran thru TO in the early eighties, <span style="font-weight: bold">and i felt a tremor in Jamaica in the 90s</span>, so i have a sense of what an earthquake feels like. i wonder if it is something you have to have some expeirence of to recognize it.
all i know is i'm sitting in my chair, perfectly still, and i felt movement.
at first i thought it was somebody dropped something heavy and i was feeling the vibration. then i said, wait, there was no sound.
ran out my office, saying "what was that??!!" and about six people popped up and said, yeah, i felt something too.
then we saw other people, and then we all ran for the elevator. friten like wah, too, caw we no know if the elevator safe. then made our way outside.
anyway, building security never feel it!
