lew Posted January 12, 2019 Report Share Posted January 12, 2019 (edited) I'm in the Kawarthas near Burleigh Falls & was sitting here yesterday afternoon and felt a big bump and the whole house shook and you could hear things rattling. My wife was in the other room and came out and asked "what the heck was that" My 1st thought was someone driving up the driveway and hit the house. Took a look around and nobody there so I went thru the house and everything was fine. A couple neighbors felt it too I but have no idea what it was other than maybe a mini-quake. Crazy stuff for sure. Edited January 12, 2019 by lew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aplumma Posted January 12, 2019 Report Share Posted January 12, 2019 Check the pool table to see if it is still level Lew. Art Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OhioFisherman Posted January 12, 2019 Report Share Posted January 12, 2019 Lew, did you ever see Tremors? It may have been one of those Precambrian worms! https://www.erudit.org/fr/revues/gpq/1993-v47-n3-gpq1904/032960ar.pdf I didn't find any news reports, just this older seismic study.

lew Posted January 12, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2019 Thanks for the link Paul, some interesting reading there. Not many earthquakes around here and certainly no big ones, but every once in awhile there'll be a little bump and I'm guessing that's what we felt yesterday. I was just talking to another neighbour and she felt it too so at least it wasn't my old brain playing tricks on me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lew Posted January 12, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2019 We've been getting the odd frost quake around here the last few nights but this was far bigger that any I've ever felt before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misfish Posted January 12, 2019 Report Share Posted January 12, 2019 I sure felt a bunch this morning Lew. Set the hook on a few. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ketchenany Posted January 12, 2019 Report Share Posted January 12, 2019 Lew there is a fault in the Ottawa Valley which is active and one south of Toronto under Lake Ontario there may have been a shift. A few years back there was one shift that was felt all around us. Here is a chart where movement can/has happened. See that dot near Peterborough under you house lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess we get small ones in my area too Lew, I have never felt one though in the past, and now I couldn't tell from my normal shaking.

There's plenty of seismic activity in the greater GTA. I've felt many a big bang, shake over the decades. They're not annual or frequent, but again not irregular. An active fault line does exist apparently under Lake O. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ketchenany Posted January 13, 2019 Report Share Posted January 13, 2019 Speil , make sure you are not tying an eye when this happens! I have only felt one, my office was on the shore of Lake Ontario, but felt one more inland above Hwy 7. Shake it when you can, there is nothing we can do. Lew don’t worry we will be fine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
