In Georgetown, Lawlor Cr. resident Maria Vicente said about 1:55 p.m. she was working at her computer when she felt her keyboard shake as a result of tremors from the 5.8 magnitude quake. "The shelves attached to the desk were shaking too," said Vicente, who called downstairs to her son Richard who also felt the quake. "My son said it felt like the house was shaking," she said. It lasted only a couple of seconds. She assumed it was a truck going by until she heard about the quake. She called her office-- GMA Chartered Accountants on Main St. S. in Georgetown-- to see if they experienced the shaking. Vicente said the receptionist there told her she felt it too. --By Lisa Tallyn, staff writer n th 165 An ual 280 Guelph St., Georgetown Market Place Weekend after Labour Day!
