Earthquake?

[Sakuraba]

Shawville just bounced up and down for about 10 seconds!

[jeffc]

felt it in south Ottawa as well. A friend near Lake Simcoe did also.

epicentre near Arnprior

Hence the pretty strong shaking here. It was much stronger than the last one a few years ago. Aftershock was even pretty noticeable.

yep, felt that here as well.

According to the us geological survey, the epicentre was actually between Ladysmith, PQ and Otter Lake, PQ, about 25 kms north of Shawville.

5.2 magnitude? really? that is pretty strong for this area I would think.

One of the guys did the old duck and cover under a desk at work as a joke, was pretty funny.

we've had a few like this in the past 5 years

I'll qualify this with the fact that I work in an office with 8 women (9 of us in this branch in total)... but there was some very real fear and panic in the building, tears even. I calmed everyone down, but everyone was standing in doorways almost immediately.

My desk chair (with the 215lb Sakuraba sitting in it) got air. I've never felt one like that before.

I have a client who has already called in to report that their chimney collapsed onto their roof.

where are you in Quebec? That was more than we had here near the airport, the house shook but I did not notice any significant hang time.

Shawville, Jeff. The nexus of the universe. See my location in my bio. In french "Shaw" sounds like "Chat" which means "cat" and "Ville" translates to "town" so Shawville=Cattown.

makes sense now. Well, you were right on top of the thing then it would seem!

Living across the road from Greensmere, there was some mild shaking for about 10 seconds, and a little more during the aftershock. Certainly a lot less than the one we had a couple of years ago.

[Sakuraba]

another aftershock about a minute ago...

[Bouche]

I was sleeping. Didnt feel a thing

[fundonny]

I was hoping all the simulators and their threads exploded
