Default Small Earthquate in Nova Scotia

http://www.cbc.ca/canada/nova-scotia...idgewater.html

Bridgewater is about an hour or so drive outside of Halifax.

A small earthquake rumbled through Lunenburg County on Monday, sparking reports of loud noises but none of injuries or damages.

Natural Resources Canada registered the 3.2-magnitude tremor at about 12:30 p.m. local time, 19 kilometres southwest of Bridgewater.

...

Eastern Canada has a lower rate of earthquake activity than the West, but every year there are about 450 earthquakes in the eastern region, Natural Resources Canada says.

Of those tremors, about 30 have a magnitude of 3 or higher, which is strong enough to be felt nearby.

My wife was in Lunenburg yesterday at the exact time of the earthquake. She went for a day-trip with our son, 2 nieces and a nephew. None of them even noticed it.

Ha, Drunk...that's kind of funny. But it didn't sound like a very big one at all.

I had no idea this even happened until I saw this topic. My sister and her husband live in Bridgewater. Thank goodness it wasn't serious.

3.2....I don't think you'd even notice at the epicentre.
