I was sitting at my computer working and all of a sudden my chair started bouncing gently up and down. I really kind of got my butt hole going and I thought, "Shit, what the hell's happening! There's no vibrator in this chair." It felt good actually. Then a piece of paper I have on a magnetic board on the wall fell off and I got a sense that things were moving ever so slightly. My partner was in the hallway cleaning the cat litter box and he didn't feel a thing, it was that subtle.

What a sensation!

I've been thru a few here on the west coast. One woke me up. The bed was flipping around. Very surreal.

We had one here last week (http://www.sanclementetimes.com/view/full_story/7931891/article-Slow-rolling-earthquake-felt-in-Orange-County?instance=eye_on_sc) about the same magnitude. I wonder if something bigger is on the way soon? Glad you're ok! :clown:

Typical stupid reporting from "The Star".
I live 100 km closer to the epicenter than Toronto and you could just barely feel it and only one table shook a wee little bit.

Evacuated buildings MY ASS!
Bloody sensationalist assholes.

After reading The Globe and Mail article, it explained why being born and raised in Toronto until I was 22, I never experienced 1 earthquake. Yet look what happened. They're quite rare there apparently.

What's amazing is how far away it was felt. Even a lot of US states felt something. Interesting. We're getting quakes these days where there usually isn't any. Hmmmm.

Maybe it was underground nuke testing. You know it's close to the G20 summit.

earthquakes are really awesome. I used to live in Wellington, New Zealand, which gets hit by quakes usually every 3 or 4 months. There was even a series of earthquake in Panama about a year ago, the biggest being a 6.5. My biggest one ever was a 7.2 in NZ. But the good news about Wellington is that it is built to survive quakes. They even have these huge balls under the freeways to allow the cement infrastructure to move when needed.

I see the one that hit Toronto was a 6.1, anything over 6 is pretty wicked. I hope everything was OK and your place got no damage to it.

Most of the reports I've read have pegged it at 5.0 or 5.5. It was gentle, almost imperceptible.

Strange but I had a dream that I was in an earthquake last night. It was very odd.

I was sitting at my desk just after lunch and I noticed my desk and monitors shaking but I really didn't want to say anything cause I didn't want to come of as more crazy than folks already think I am so I just waited for someone else to say something then I was like "me too!"

Or Something, seems a Tornado hit too, in midlands Ont later on. Maybe someone just doesn't like our Stevie Boy whistle

Yeah, they had a tornado in Midland, which is a couple of hours north of here. Wrecked a trailer park, I think I read.

Tornados and earthquakes all in the same day. Weird.

Its the Gods weighing in on the G20 situation. I was hoping it would set of a Lake Ontario Tsunami that would flood the Metro Convention Centre... but no luck.

Darn, here I thought it was called 'How To Sink Taxpayer Cash Lake & Unemployment Discharge Conduit" lol or more aptly known as the "Brown Paper Bag Reservoir"

I prefer 'Harper's Cesspool"

Just over $400,000.00 a min is what the taxpayers are paying for this garbage.

I lost a big, glass vase in the earthquake. We have this big honking glass vase (weighs about 20 pounds) sitting on a shelf on the wall and we've got curly bamboo in it. This morning I found a puddle of water on the shelf and when we checked the vase (which has rocks in the bottom of it) we saw a big crack in the glass. It really sucks, it was a nice piece of glass.
