You can’t blame residents in Oakville if they’re singing that old Carole King classic “I Feel The Earth Move Under My Feet”.Some people in the G.T.A. city were startled when a small earthquake rumbled through the area on Thursday.The temblor wasn’t exactly powerful, measuring just 2.7 on the Richter scale. That’s strong enough to feel the shaking and hear a rumble but not enough to do any damage. The quake struck just before 11am, and while such seismic shifts are rare in this part of the province, they’re not unheard of. There have been four such shakers in 2006, including Thursday’s incident. A 3.4 magnitude quake hit 62 kilometres east of Kapuskasing on March 3rd. Less than a week earlier on February 25th, a 3.1 Richter rumbler shook Hawkesbury, a town near the Ontario-Quebec border. And on the third day of the New Year, Cochrane was rocked by a 3.7 magnitude quake.None of those events caused any damage, either. May 4, 2006

My brother & his family live in Oakville. I would die if anything ever happened to any of them (especially my niece).
