Temblors were reported in the Laurentians, across Montreal, in Cornwall and in Ottawa.

"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 site was brought to its knees again Wednesday. Many visitors seeking information were greeted by blank screens and the site occasionally worked, but only intermittently after 2 p.m.

The bugs brought back memories of last year's 5.0 temblor, where the federal site was paralyzed by demand.
