23 Jun 10 - 02:36 PM (#2933383) Subject: RE: BS: Earthquake Ontario-Quebec border region From: GUEST,bankley I could feel the rumble and the house shaking some. On the St. Lawrence river over an hour west of the Quebec border. We get them now and then along the Big river. Mother Earth moving to her own tune. |

23 Jun 10 - 03:12 PM (#2933425) Subject: RE: BS: Earthquake Ontario-Quebec border region From: GUEST,bankley The Ottawa Valley is prone to this activity. Felt a few when I lived there... now if only it could have held off until this week-end's G-20 in TO. That would have scrambled the scene.... |

23 Jun 10 - 04:30 PM (#2933490) Subject: RE: BS: Earthquake Ontario-Quebec border region From: bobad Funny thing, I am closer to the epicenter than most yet didn't feel any movement, I was out side poking around in the garden and heard and physically felt this extremely discomforting, very low, base tone, so evident that I walked towards my neighbour's home wondering if it was coming from there. My dog, who was lying outside got up and went into the house. |

23 Jun 10 - 04:33 PM (#2933492) Subject: RE: BS: Earthquake Ontario-Quebec border region From: Burke Over 22,000 have responded to the Did you feel it? question on the USGS page. Most felt weak to light. For a relatively small earthquake it seems to have been felt quite far away. |

23 Jun 10 - 04:38 PM (#2933495) Subject: RE: BS: Earthquake Ontario-Quebec border region From: AllisonA(Animaterra) Several people around here in southwestern New Hampshire felt it. I was having lunch at a restaurant in Acton, Massachusetts, west of Boston, and missed the whole thing. |

23 Jun 10 - 05:04 PM (#2933510) Subject: RE: BS: Earthquake Ontario-Quebec border region From: Little Hawk I was parked over at the local mall, and I felt the car oscillating gently for 10 or 20 seconds, rocking a bit on its springs. I figured it had to be an earthquake, but it was quite a subtle effect. |

24 Jun 10 - 06:31 AM (#2933822) Subject: RE: BS: Earthquake Ontario-Quebec border region From: 3refs I was sitting at Veterans Park, beside Lake Simcoe in Orillia, and I thought someone had snuck up behind my car and was rocking it. |

24 Jun 10 - 07:32 AM (#2933859) Subject: RE: BS: Earthquake Ontario-Quebec border region From: Bat Goddess I think I missed it here in New Hampshire because I was on the road at the time. We occasionally have our own -- really felt the one in '78 or '79 when I was living in Cape Porpoise, Maine, and also the NH one in the very early '80s. Also felt the Plattsburg, NY one about 10 years ago. That's the one the cats ignored. Linn |

24 Jun 10 - 01:47 PM (#2934092) Subject: RE: BS: Earthquake Ontario-Quebec border region From: Charmion My office is on the fourth floor of a Class 2 building (i.e., constructed to withstand fairly substantial earthquakes, tornadoes and other super-stressors). I was sitting at my desk, talking to the Major who was leaning over the Les Nessman wall. I heard a loud rumble like thunder or a passing train, but constant, and then the floor and the walls started to bounce and the desk top began to vibrate. The cup of water beside my computer slopped all over the desk. The Major said, "What is that? Is that an earthquake?" I said, "I do believe it is." And then it was all over. |

27 Jun 10 - 11:59 PM (#2935804) Subject: RE: BS: Earthquake Ontario-Quebec border region From: GUEST,leeneia My husband and I studied the map of Canada and saw how nearly the St Lawrence River approximates a straight line. We wondered if it was a rift zone. It seems that it is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Lawrence_rift_system People in Milwaukee, 680 miles away, say that they felt it. |
