"I was sitting on my couch and all of a sudden I hear this noise which is boom, boom, boom, boom," said Feely Antipas, who lives in Morin Heights, Que.


"I thought it was a big [boulder] coming from a big mountain, going down the hill. The noise when it stopped it was very strong."

The ground started shaking and stopped after about 10 seconds.

Federal quake website froze
It appeared the one casualty was the federal website intended to keep Canadians informed about earthquakes.
