He wouldn't. Reality and him are galaxy's apart.

I live in Grand Rapids, MI (western)....was working at the time....didn't feel anything...nor did anyone else that I worked with.

Heard about it on the radio the way home. But no go here.

I think this is odd. An Earthquake in Canada that is felt in Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, Maine. Some of those places I can see as being possible, but not all of them.

It was also felt in Connecticut. It was strong enough here, that it knocked at least one larger-sized (30-inch) monitor off a desk. Coinnecticut is at least 300-400 miles away, as the crow flies.

Calm and cloudy in Southeastern WI, buffered by Lake Michigan.

I hope you're all ok.


Also, won't be long before the clowns start descending on this thread with "OMG guys!!! The sea floor is collapsing from the BP oil rig and it's blowing the planet out of orbit!!!" insanity.

Just saying... I haven't read all the responses yet, but my spidey sense is tingling.

BAH! I always miss the fun and in turn, I never have anything to talk about.

I was actually riding my bike and I felt nothing. I guess those shock absorbers are working correctly.

Double post. I guess this was the fun I was expecting.

Second.

Didn't felt it, but some did here in Montreal...
It would have been my second in what.. 10 years?

Cool

First off, I've always just lurked here and read the posts without joining or responding, but today I felt this quake and that quickly inspired me to become a little more active.

I live near Buffalo,NY and i felt the quake around 1:45, surprisingly quick, considering other people felt it in NJ up to a half hour later. Just figured I'd add my .02$

it apparently blew out the windows of Ottawa City Hall.

I would suggest that was aggravated by a sudden displacement of hot air

We felt it all the way down in newmarket.

My buddy in richmondhill was using his lathe when the earthquake happened. He didn't under stand why it came out so bad, then he remade one and it came out perfect, later he heard there was a earth quake, but he didn't feel it.

my dad felt it

Hi neighbor! Could you be a little more specific? I was about a mile west of the airport and I didn't feel anything. You don't have to give your town, just a general direction. Like north or north east of the city.

Usually a lurker, and this is my first post, but felt it myself. live near the finger lakes region in the middle of NY, and iv never felt a quake here before. but it was enough to shake my whole house and all the houses on my street. I thought i had to much mountain dew for a moment haha

Yes people, this is our 2nd earthquake in 5 years that was 5+ on the scale!
Im in upper ny.

THIS WAS NOT HAARP or anything else, just your everyday casual earthquake, move along people, the front page deserve something better than this!

Im in Wheatfield, NY. As far as I can tell just from general word of mouth and people on Facebook, it was hit or miss around here. I know people who live literally within a 5 minute walk of each other where one felt it and the other didnt

I had no idea earthquakes could happen there! That must have been really scary...I hope everyone is ok.

It's not unusual that a relatively small quake affected such a large area, by the way... The ground in the eastern part of North America is different from the west, and is good at carrying the eq waves a greater distance.

"The ground in the East also propagates shaking much more efficiently, so earthquakes would affect a much bigger area," he explained. "In the west, the crust is much more busted up, so the seismic waves attenuate — the magnitude 6.7 Northridge earthquake felt in Southern California but not Northern California. In the east the ground has hardened for millions and millions of years, so I felt shaking in Boston from a magnitude 6.0 earthquake in central Quebec that was 500 miles from where I was sitting."

"Tsunami warning issued for Harper's "fake lake"!

And if it does happen, wait until the taxpayers see the bill for the cleanup cost.

This was not HAARP or anything?

casual earthquake, Sorry i am not your little story.

I noticed something like this would happen, cause all the animals and even birds left my area where i live in toronto, when the ducks felt the area 12 days ago earlier before it even happen.

I for one say it was something else, its time for people like you to start seening that as well.


Another thing, this just happens just before the G20/G8 Toronto Summit even begins.

Which makes me wonder if more are planned.
