Earthquake?
One of the news/talk radio stations in town is reporting an earthquake in Toronto. I'm a couple of miles from them, but didn't feel a thing

I was at the Winners HQ in Mississauga in 1998...maybe 1999..out by Pearson Airport...was standing in the controllers office looking out at planes landing...good look at the horizon...when the entire building swayed....a little bit...but noticeable...odd effect on the inner ear...like I'd just got off a ride at an amusement park....found out later that there had been a small earthquake....3.3 or something on the Richter scale.
Never knew that part of Ontario was still seismically active. Last edited by KSGregman; 06-23-2010 at 03:29 PM.. |

Well this whole area is in rebound from the last ice age. They're saying that it was a 5.5. No idea where it was centred yet.

CNN is reporting an earthquake up your way.
We've had a bunch of small one around here for the last couple years. |

"Butt-fuck" doesn't translate in Quebecois. You'd have to translate it in Parisienne.

My aunt felt the aftershocks in downtown Cleveland. Same thing for an ex of mine who lives on the east side of Cleveland.

I was sitting in my car on break (I hate listening to the people I work with never shut up about food) and noticed the car shaking some. Its an acura now so its not like it has a crazy idle so I had no clue what caused it til I heard about the earthquake. It wasnt anything big around here but theyre acting like it was crazy lol.
