Never say never. Really.

No aftershocks so far, but apparently we can get aftershocks for days yet, so we'll see. It's kind of a bizarre experience when the house starts trembling. You can look out the window and see the trees standing still, yet shuddering side to side. Maybe if I'd been on my feet at the time, I would've looked out to see the lawn doing the same thing. My butt was vibrating for minutes afterward (it lasted less than a minute itself).

It wasn't violent enough to get me splashed, at least.

I think I noticed a wall crack or two that got unsealed, but nothing really fell out of place or anything, so we got off pretty easy around these parts. Things presumably would've been much worse in the Ottawa/Gatineau area, or even in Montreal.
