“We were watching cartoons and our house shook so bad. I’d imagine that’s what an earthquake feels like.
I could see and feel the house shake… I thought a car hit my neighbour’s house or something. Then thought it was a bomb or explosion.” Windows on several homes in the area are blown out following the incident, and Regina Fire said some homes over a block away have broken windows.
