At 1:40 pm my house just shook for about 5 seconds.:confused:


I now heard on the news it was also in Northern Ontario as well as in Ohio, New York and Quebec

Yep, I felt it. I was on the 7th floor in my office and I thought I was passing in and out of consciousness because everything was swimming in front of me.

Everyone ran out of the building.

Hell, I went over to one neighbour and she thought I was nuts:confused:

By the time I got back into my yard, my neighbour on the other side was out in her driveway with a look on her face that showed me I wasnt crazy:p

Never felt anything like that before...

TDi content: none of our Tdi's were harmed in the incident:D:D

I was inside a 132-year-old church... for a moment I thought that the squirrels had been working overtime and that the roof was going to cave in...

Interesting...

It woke me up. Felt like I was on a cruise ship for about 10 seconds. The mirror was banging against the wall. Pretty cool, but I hope no one was hurt or sustained any major damage.

Yes, the floor was vibrating quite noticeably here. I turned around in my chair to look at the windows expecting the next thing would be that they would explode inwards, announcing the arrival of the Cylons. :eek:

I was in a movie theatre in Gatineau with my 7 year old!! let me tell ya, looking up at the ceiling 30 feet up and watching it sway about a foot side to side and seeing all the ceiling tiles lift up was scary as ****, we RAN out with everybody else, some tiles fell and broke, little kids were crying and so was my son.

That was it for the movie!! we got free tickets.

Uh... hmm... Well, none...
Was sitting at a stop light in the Jetta. Had the sensation of being stopped on a bridge or overpass when a heavy truck goes by in the other direction - except that I wasn't on a bridge! That it was an earthquake never crossed my mind; only last 3 or 4 seconds, if that, then the light went green...

I was in Ottawa, where it was felt stronger than the GTA, but I still didn't notice a thing! Was probably walking outside at the time... Just wondered where all the people came from and what the buzz was about!
