Earthquake in Montreal

In the WI. Was in the server room, suspended floors, didn't feel a thing :(

Cause it's a nothing event.

New Madrid fault line. If that goes, we'll be in for some tough times.

I would be more concerned about Yellowstone after this.

Ca brassé comme on dit! :)

Hehe:

Is this a bad time to mention that the island of Montreal floats perilously over a major Laurentian fault line?

From two days ago.

Around St.Catherines/Rue RedPath by any chance?

That's strange, someone here in northern NM was saying the same thing was happening here yesterday they saw multiple wrecks and then bam it all starts on the big ole rio grande rift in Colorado which runs right through here. (The not so little old fault line where the continent is tearing in the middle???). I've said it before tunnels underground are not going to be the smartest place to avoid this IF it cranks up another notch.

I'm in Laval, Quebec (closest city at the North of Montreal) and I didn't feel it.

Dayum - granite sure does allow quakes to travel far, huh?

My GF is up in Montreal and she said she didn't feel anything.

I'm in New York and I didn't feel anything but I was in a plane (parked not flying) when it happened.

All the people in the terminal here DID feel it.

brassé fort!! :D

ste-cath and peel

J'étais à Longueuil, mais c'était subtil, pas fort !

J'me sentais étourdi .. bizarre !

A magnitude 5.8 earthquake struck northwest of Richmond, Virginia, on Tuesday afternoon. The tremor was felt hundreds of kilometres north in Montreal and Toronto, Canada, and south to Hampstead, North Carolina. The recent quake is the largest ever recorded in Virginia since a magnitude 5.8 quake shook Giles County on 31 May 1897.

hmmm RDI viens juste d'annoncer que la secousse a été ressenti jusqu'au Saguenay.

It is a precursor for a big one - titanic plates are going to start moving.

The plate here in Quebec is reknown to be very hard and solid and it is why you need the entire tectonic plate to move at the same time to feel an earthquake.

Felt it too 30 minutes west of montreal

Things balanced back and forth like a very mildly rocking ship for like 15 seconds

Saw something different up here in Mass. I've been active all day so I didn't fel it but went outside and my window boxes on the house were vibrating, saw it happen the other day too..thought it was vibrations from car going down the road, must have been from the EQ.

Why did you pin this shit?

On Saturday I was in Quebec City and in the afternoon, while walking in the lower historical downtown, I felt something.....felt immediately dizzy, a bit nauseated....it definately felt like an earthquake...which I have felt before. I came back to my hotel room to see if there had been one...but there was nothing listed.

Today, I did feel something again....

Hey salut! Je suis de Laval moi aussi dans le quartier Vimont et je n'ai rien sentis du tout non plus.

hearing Frenchies speaking their native language on GLP is by far stranger than these latest EQs!
