NAW Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 (edited) Dang.. You beat me to it!! HAhaha. Felt it here in Barrie.. Lasted a while too. A few minutes anyways. A little more intense then the one last year. Last year, the quake was followed by the tornado in Midland. This year, there's a tornado in Goderich then another quake. Weird..

kickingfrog Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 (edited) I didn't feel it here in Barrie, I was on the ground floor though, Stelic, on the fan, mentioned it while it was happening. That's twice he has been on air during a quake. Edited August 23, 2011 by kickingfrog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedimaster Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 The security for the building just made an announcement. "There was an earthquake about 20 minutes ago in virginia. Its up to you if you want to evacuate" umm gee, yah a little late for the optional evacuation. I think I am going to evacuate at 4pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hooked Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 I was in my office and started hearing the desk shake, then I stood up and the whole floor was moving back and forth. I was certifiably scared. I said the my co-worker, let's get the hell outta here! That was crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
