Anyone on the east coast just have an earthquake?

[dionysus]

office build was shakign hard for about 60 seconds here in upstate NY.

[dgibby]

1. I'm on the east coast,

in the SC Low Country, and my house is between 2 fault lines(lucky me!), but I haven't felt anything here. This is the most active fault east of the Mississippi.

[Subdivisions]

2. I remember lung-exploding hits like that. n/t

[JuniperLea]

10. Dude...

You brought a tear to my eye... oh, the bong-busters of my youth!

[Subdivisions]

12. Lol! Shook my world a few times back in the day =) n/t

[lib2DaBone]

58. Likewise.. Made me LOL. Bong Buster or a Shotgun from a buddy?

[lib2DaBone]

59. I hope this was not really an EQ. In N.Y. ... not a good sign.

Not a good sign anywhere , but NY is not supposed to have earthquakes? ( Full moon Lunar Eclipse this Sat.. extra strong tides for coastal areas.)

[JuniperLea]

60. We had some really wild devices...

I can't remember the name of it, but there was a plastic bottle... you unscrewed the lid and there was a place to put the doobie at the end of a tube through the lid... you screwed the lid back on, emptied your lungs, held the lid to your mouth, squeezed the bottle and sucked it in!

Super something... power whatever... it was amazing:) Like a solo shotgun!

Whoa! I found it!



I googled 'onward through the fog'... that was the only thing I could remember... I wonder why? :rofl:

[dionysus]

well if my glass fell over back home i'll be pissed.

[icnorth]

3. Toronto and Ottawa area as well. n/t

4. Wow - keep us posted. Just Googled but no news there yet. nt

[dionysus]

[eShirl]

5. didn't feel it in central Maine

[robpopulace]

6. Felt it in Vermont.

[closeupready]

7. Not here in the city, no, I didn't feel anything.

[dionysus]

18. enough to open desk drawers and have the blinds slapping the window!

[SidDithers]

9. I'm outside of Toronto and just felt something...

I thought I was just dizzy.

Sid

[malaise]

11. A friend in Toronto says yes n/t

[eowyn_of_rohan]

13. USGS site shows nothing!

http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/recenteqsus/

Explosion?

[sufrommich]

14. God I hope not, that would be one powerful explosion. nt

[eowyn_of_rohan]

20. This is weird- reports in NY, Ohio, Canada, Vermont...

nothing on news (yet), and nothing on the USGS earthquake website

[sufrommich]

24. Very strange, nothing in Michigan. nt

[Posteritatis]

15. Any explosion felt in Ottawa and NY would be kinda noteworthy.. (nt)

[SidDithers]

64. And probably identified by more than just ground shakes...nt

Sid

[MineralMan]

35. It does now.

[NanceGreggs]

16. East end of Toronto here ...

Whole house shook for at least 30 seconds. Calls coming in to news stations now - callers from Ottawa who felt it as well.

[thewiseguy]

17. Apparently it also shook Northern Ohio

Baltimore, New Jersey,..etc.

So weird!

PS: That was from FR...At least their website is useful for something!

21. RSOE EDIS page shows 5.4 quake near Quebec.

Here: scroll down to earthquake column.

[sufrommich]

29. What a cool site. Bookmarked. Thanks for that. nt

[dixiegrrrrl]

36. I check it over once a day.

Can be depressing, tho.

[xchrom]

23. recommend

[Habibi]

25. I'm in Rochester, NY

--!! That was a wee bit nerve-wracking. Glad the garage is still standing.

[dionysus]

28. so am i. hi neighbor!

:)

[nadinbrzezinski]

26. PHew not the Madrid Fault

there are a few small faults, capable of major quakes, though.

[XemaSab]

54. Yeah, a niner on the New Madrid would be JUST what we need

You could just stick a fork in us 'cause we'd be done.

[marybourg]

27. The USGS site contains a place to report "unknown events"

http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/dyfi/

[bananas]

33. USGS has it now - Quebec

http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/recenteqsus/

[sufrommich]

34. What does "unknown event" mean? Anybody? nt

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

37. I would assume...

that it's an event that's detected by seismometers but is not an earthquake. Explosions, cave ins, etc.

[marybourg]

44. It looks like"I felt it, but I don't see it reported on your site" nt.

[Nordmadr]

30. Yes, we evacuated the department while we looked into it.

The whole building was rocking like a tree in the breeze. It was unnerving. I'm in CNY.

[hedgehog]

41. Where in CNY - I'm just outside Fulton and didn't notice a thing!

I feel cheated!

[Amonester]

31. Felt something unusual for five seconds in downtown Montreal.

I thought it was due to an overloaded truck or something. :smoke:

[Soylent Brice]

32. nothing here in Cincy, but here's a kick for ya.

[EnlightenedOne]

67. Hi - Cincy here too

From WCPO:

Did you feel the ground rumble or your building shake on Wednesday?

The U.S. Geological Survey says a 5.5 magnitude earthquake hit the Ontario-Quebec border region of Canada around 1:41 p.m. The USGS said the quake occurred at a depth of about 12 miles.

The powerful earthquake hundreds of miles away rattled Ohio, with the sound of plaster cracking in Cleveland and buildings in Cincinnati gently swaying.

Several dozen people called 9 News after feeling a rumble or their building shake shortly after. A Procter and Gamble employee in Downtown Cincinnati says the east tower was shaking for approximately 20-30 seconds.

There were no immediate reports of damage.

[Soylent Brice]

68. weird.

i'm at work in west chester and i don't recall feeling it.

[nadinbrzezinski]

38. here you go

http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/recenteqsus/Maps/US2/45.47.-76.-74.php

Yes, yes you did

[thewiseguy]

39. This does not look good..Look at this from USGS

http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/pager/events/us/2010xwa7/index.html

Around 200 people were exposed to extreme shaking...How would that be possible in a 5.5 quake?

[slackmaster]

43. People who aren't used to earthquakes may tend to overstate the shaking

:hi:

[thewiseguy]

45. No it has nothing to do with that

Those numbers are from USGS.

For a 5.5 earthquake this one did a lot of shaking.

[nadinbrzezinski]

61. Was it close to the surface?

Yes that makes a difference.

[Dawson Leery]

40. USGS confirms

http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/recenteqsus/Maps/US2/45.47.-76.-74.php

[MineralMan]

42. Interesting page on earthquake activity in Quebec.

Apparently, it's not as unusual as you'd think. Nice map.

http://geoscape.nrcan.gc.ca/quebec/eq_e.php

[newspeak]

46. daughter just called-lives in Watertown NY

said they just felt a quake-was on the news-epicenter in Quebec

[Javaman]

47. 5.5 is a good shake.

You look at the US geo map and you will see an odd thing...

all these clustered small earth quakes along the west coast, then a big fat red square in Canada.

[SpiralHawk]

49. Meanwhile, oil gushing willy nilly in the Gulf

Yikes. Could the hole that BP punched in the earth, and the resulting GUSH, have disturbed the Tectonic Plates?

Hey, it's all connected...

[Javaman]

55. Oh yeah...

I keep thinking about the worse than worse case scenario (we are already experiencing the worst case scenario). The worser (sic) one would be for the oil dome to collapse resulting in a tsunami/earthquake creating a super oil volcano instead of the regular old oil volcano we are currently enjoying. :(

[XemaSab]

56. No

n/t

[nadinbrzezinski]

62. Hmm no

if you said... this for oh the plate affected you MIGHT be able to make a case... since we have drawn from those reservoirs... and even that one would be hard to make

[Posteritatis]

65. *facepalm* (nt)

[mdmc]

48. Albany NY reporting a small quake

on www.wamc.org

[Nite Owl]

50. Hey, I did feel something

just for a few seconds though. I thought it was the dog scratching himself next to my chair but he's in his bed sleeping (dogs life!).
I'm near Albany.

[FedUpWithIt All]

51. Friends in NE Ohio felt it as well. n/t

[ohheckyeah]

52. I'm in VA and didn't feel anything. n/t

[NotThisTime]

53. Burlington VT - yes...

[Saboburns]

57. Huntington WV, yes I felt it

For a looooong time i felt it, like 60 seconds.

[Vinca]

63. I didn't feel it in southern New Hampshire and I can't imagine why.

Maybe I was out in the garden when it hit and not paying attention.

[realisticphish]

66. I'm in Ohio, and nothing

I'm no geologist, but maybe Lake Erie stopped most of the force?
