Lunker777 Posted June 23, 2010 Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 Felt it here in Chatham !!!! The funny thing about it is, I was on the phone with a customer west of Ottawa and he went silent in the middle of our conversation.... I asked if he was still there and he says " Ya, they are blasting sewers about 3 miles from my place and one just shook my truck !! " hahah I said oh yea ??? thats crazy..... then we went on with our convo and about 2 minutes later... I went silent ! hahaha All of a sudden i felt like i was drunk rockin back and forth and the displays in the show room were shaking !!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ccmtcanada Posted June 23, 2010 Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 (edited) From the Toronto Star Website People in Toronto are reporting feeling tremors at about 1:45 p.m. today. Workers in office buildings reported feeling the buildings shake. "It felt like the building was swaying," said Alex Carter, who works in a tower at Bloor and Yonge Sts. In Ottawa, dozens of members of the national press gallery poured out onto the streets across from Parliament Hill as a tremor shook the National Press Building. Public servants and political staffers also began to empty their offices as the realization set in. The tremors shook for about 30 seconds. The U.S. Geological Survey reported this afternoon that the quake was 5.5 on the Richter scale, and was centred on the Ontario-Quebec border 19 kilometres deep.

solopaddler Posted June 23, 2010 Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 I'm currently at work at the weather office in Hamilton. I work in the base of the control tower and the controllers almost evacuated when it happened. Personally I thought I was having a heart attack LOL! My compadre from Environment Canada was sitting beside me and he said the closest fault line is in the middle of Lake Ontario. Apparantly it's a filled with contaminated sludge from the Love Canal. Hopefully the quake didn't disturb too much of that crap (if that was indeed the epicentre). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsTheBassMan Posted June 23, 2010 Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 Yup felt it in North York too. They felt it as far away as Ottawa! I didn't feel it, but it looks like the Epicenter is near Ottawa, so that makes sense: http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/recenteqsus/Quakes/us2010xwa7.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlowPoke Posted June 23, 2010 Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 I'm surprised it took this long after all the Lakair chili and beans! I woke up around 1:45 but I don't recall any shaking in London. I asked my daughter and her tutor preping for exams in the kitchen and they didn't notice anything either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
