One of the news/talk radio stations in town is reporting an earthquake in Toronto. I'm a couple of miles from them, but didn't feel a thing :skep:

I was at the Winners HQ in Mississauga in 1998...maybe 1999..out by Pearson Airport...was standing in the controllers office looking out at planes landing...good look at the horizon...when the entire building swayed....a little bit...but noticeable...odd effect on the inner ear...like I'd just got off a ride at an amusement park....found out later that there had been a small earthquake....3.3 or something on the Richter scale.

Never knew that part of Ontario was still seismically active.

Well this whole area is in rebound from the last ice age. They're saying that it was a 5.5. No idea where it was centred yet.

CNN is reporting an earthquake up your way.

We've had a bunch of small one around here for the last couple years.

You sure it wasn't just Roseanne Barr visiting and farting?

It's equidistant between Montreal and Ottawa. Maybe Harper was shooting down a Separatist-to-Federalist missile?

I wonder what "butt fuck nowhere" would translate to on a Quebec-ois highway sign? :lmao:

"Butt-fuck" doesn't translate in Quebecois. You'd have to translate it in Parisienne.

My aunt felt the aftershocks in downtown Cleveland. Same thing for an ex of mine who lives on the east side of Cleveland.

I was sitting in my car on break (I hate listening to the people I work with never shut up about food) and noticed the car shaking some. Its an acura now so its not like it has a crazy idle so I had no clue what caused it til I heard about the earthquake. It wasnt anything big around here but theyre acting like it was crazy lol.

Yeah my sister works in Downtown Detroit at the Renascience Center (GM Building) and she said she felt it there too. I thought at first she was full shit till I saw it on the news. This place is goin to hell overnight if we don't be careful.

apparently we felt it here too.

I thought there was a large piece of machinery driving down the road or something

Guess I was wrong :lol:

The only earthquake I remember having felt was about like that.
It happened while I was living in the USVI.

I vaguely remember hearing what I thought was someone rolling a recycling bin down the hallway outside my office, but that's it. Then again I'm in the sub-basement, which might as well be a bunker.

The epicenter was 60km from here.

I didn't think it was too bad, the building I was in swayed a bit, but it did not feel any different than normal quakes(We usually get 4.5-5.5 once every 4-5 years here).

They were interviewing some dudes from Taiwan, and he said they get those quakes 3 times a month.

I didn't even feel it but you'd think something HUGE had gone down at work with the way the ladies were going on around here.
