A seismic surprise rocked southern Ontario on Tuesday night, leaving residents buzzing with curiosity. According to the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR), a magnitude 3.7 earthquake hit the region, its epicenter just 23 kilometers southeast of Orillia. But here's the intriguing part: this tremor occurred at the precise moment of 10:59 p.m., as if nature had set an alarm.
