MONTREAL: DID YOU JUST FEEL THAT EARTHQUAKE??? | |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 25283351 United States 10/10/2012 01:27 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Are Earthquakes even common there? Twitter is blowing up over this, but nothing on Google news, CNN, etc. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 25283351 If this isn't common or occasional, then why the media blackout? Sure, crap like the Kardashians trump all mews, but you would figure this would be the top, real news story after the Kardashians at least. The significance of a quake is not by magnitude. Strongly felt in an uncommon location creates buzz. And this thread is on fire. Would you say this is a "significant quake" event though it was not 7.0 or 8.0? Why are you being a dick? I thought this seemed like an odd occurrence. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 11971141 Canada 10/10/2012 01:32 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I live in Boucherville and man did I feel it. I felt this rumbling noise getting louder and louder as if a high speed train was just speeding below my house. The shaking lasted a good 15 to 20 seconds at one point I was expecting something big was about to hit my house. Pretty weird feeling, never felt this before.

The Operator. User ID: 24570838 Canada 10/10/2012 01:34 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The Saint Lawrence rift system is a seismically active zone paralleling the Saint Lawrence River. The rift system trends northeast and southwest and forms a half-graben that links the Ottawa-Bonnechere and the Saguenay grabens. The rift system extends more than 1000 km along the Saint Lawrence valley from the Ottawa - Montreal area. Within the system, fault reactivation is believed to occur along late Proterozoic to early Paleozoic normal faults related to the opening of the Iapetus Ocean. The Operator. Yolgnu. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 25291170 Canada 10/10/2012 01:36 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The whole bloody building shook for a few seconds. 12:20AM EDT. Montreal, did you feel it? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 10479655 Yup.....first I heard a loud bang and then the whole apartment building shook.... my first earthquake experience..... First timer for earth quakes too. Never felt one in my 30 years thus far. It started as a rumble and I'm in Laval. Then everything was shaking and I kinda started to freak out. Then it left liek some strange underground creature slithering away. I've heard reports of it hitting harder in Longueuil. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 24497623 Canada 10/10/2012 01:48 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | with this quake , this is going to be my fourth quake in my life. the first 3 where all about same , no sound , small short wave then slower bigger wave and stop. this has a very erratic wave like this: - 2-3 very fast hard boom on the surface not coming from below follow by erratic wave with rail train metal sound like - pause - 7-12 very fast hard boom with rail metal sound and a boom like 2 train just hit them self - the end if i had to gave a description of what i just fell i would say it was a big accident , something has just felt on us. from my knowledge that was not felled like a usual quake caused my seismic motion but surely it was. Many strange shaking and boom reported first as explosion or big accident by people around the world , so i really do not think Montreal is special in that case. We do not know everything about earthquake event the best specialist so keep cool , those are just another kind of quake we do not yet fully recognize. |

I've never experienced an earthquake like that.. it felt much stronger than the USGS says. I notice some people here mentioned headaches and such for a few days prior.. I experienced this as well, I'd like to think it's not connected. |
