Earthquake!

[dennilfloss]

Quake in Ottawa. Lasted several seconds. Things fell off the walls.

ZOMG!!! Canada is going to fall off into the ocean!

 

[ConwayJim]

Just felt it in our office in Toronto...pretty crazy!

 

[Lord Zado]

I'm in a building in downtown Baltimore and I just felt it shaking. Everyone around me was wondering what the heck it was. Would it travel that far?

I'm in Akron, OH, and a co-worker in another building down the street from me sent me an email at 1:50 if I felt my building sway. We didn't here, but they all did.

Did all the frenchmen surrender?

 

[Dominato3r]

I wasn't aware Ottawa was an earthquake prone area o.o

 

[iCyborg]

I felt it here in Toronto too, it was very mild, still made me go wtf

 

[Ika]

didn't feel anything in Cleveland. didn't know we even had earthquakes here on the east side of the continent.

so... weird. I'm on the 1st floor though but I didn't notice anything at all. been here neffing for the past hour or so.

In Toronto, most of building complex is self-evacuating except me. Going down with the ship...

I didn't feel anything, but the person I was having lunch with was freaking out cause she did; we were in the basement.

I'm on the 4th floor of my building in Baltimore. We're used to large trucks going by outside and feeling a brief rumbling, but this felt more like I was on a boat going side to side and it lasted a good 30 seconds or so.

Why would you evacuate a building? I was always taught to get underneath a table or something.

I'm in Albany, NY and everyone in my office just felt the building move around 15 minutes ago. An aftershock of the Ottawa earthquake maybe?

Edit: never mind. Not an aftershock. My laptop reported the time of Dennilflosse's post incorrectly. We felt the same one. Sweet!

You tell me. I'm with the "if i ain't feel it, and it ain't fallen down, ain't no problem" crowd.

Someone pulled the fire alarm in one building, and a lot of people caught wind of it in ours, so decided to go into the parking lot. Some people stayed behind.

Felt it on second floor of office in Hudson Ohio (about 30 min South of Cleveland)

when you're on the 10th floor of a building and an earthquake hits, hiding under the table isn't going to help you much when the entire building goes down

 

[moshquerade]

Just a little shake here, kinda fun.

I felt nothing in Halifax. So I'm going to say I don't think we're falling into the ocean, I would be the first to know.

Certainly doesn't help to be on any floor of a building when it goes down...

Well you are right, but that's just something Ive been taught. An earthquake will never occur here anyway :\
