LifeNRA Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 http://earthquake.usgs.gov/eqcenter/recenteqsus/Quakes/ld1019531.php It was only a 2.5 quake but enough to shake the plant where I work! The quake was centered only 2 miles from the town I work in! I was standing on top of the press washing up the rollers when it hit. I felt the press bounce! It was a very weird feeling!

slugshooter Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 Re: We Had A Earthquake Today!!! Strange feeling indeed I am sure. When most people think of earthquakes, all they think about is California. Not many people realize there is a big fault through the midwest that is just waiting to erupt.

M00N Posted December 14, 2006 Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 Re: We Had A Earthquake Today!!! I didn't feel it, but I'm by an airport so the planes rattle the windows here off and on all day and all night. I might have felt it just never noticed. Glad to hear no injuries happened as a result of it, at least according to our local news station. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJ Posted December 15, 2006 Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 Re: We Had A Earthquake Today!!! Yep, its a wierd feeling. You can get thh specs from the earthquake here on USGS site. That was just a little 2.4 magnitude shake, now imagine the 6.9 magnitude I went through in California in 1989. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaun_300 Posted December 15, 2006 Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 Re: We Had A Earthquake Today!!! It is a weird feeling! We had one this past February of a magnitude of 4.5, it hit about 30 miles NE of downtown Ottawa, and I am 25 miles west of downtown. I felt it from here pretty good! I was on Realtree at the time (surprise surprise ) and everything started shaking, stuff fell off the top of my TV, glasses rattling, etc. It was quite the experience. http://www.canadiancontent.net/commtr/article_805.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
