Last time there was a temblor in the region, last June, it froze Earthquakes Canada's website.

, ~4 [3 ~# P( iThe 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.
