Yep. The house was going side to side here, it was really strange. I thought it was a tornado at first since we have severe thunderstorms on the way here. Apparently it was "19km deep, centered approximately 61km north of ottawa", which is EXACTLY where my parents live. Called them, they're fine, apparently in their area there was deafening rumbling, but the shaking itself wasn't too bad (although their house stands on stilts in a lake bed, which probably softened it quite a lot).

That reached pretty far though - as I say, my house was swaying, and that's about 400 miles from the epicentre...
