Re: Earthquake
Bman you're in Canada right? it was a 5.0 ONTARIO-QUEBEC BORD REG. http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/ ... canada.php
It was medium and you could definitely feel it
On June 15th we felt a 5.7 http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/ ... i14745580/ it was scary since the movement was vertical, and that could become pretty dangerous, compared to the 7.2 from last March that was horizontal movement and it was less aggressive but very scary, i was not too far from the epicenter. I live in a seismic zone, and there is a bunch of seismic faults in which 3 are mainly important, including the San Andreas Fault which is the scariest one.
I was playing BBC2 back on March when the big earthquake happened, Van, T3 and other guys were connected on teamspeak when i told them really quick about the earthquake that started happening at that moment and then i just left my apartment with my wife and ran outside it lasted for about 45 seconds and it turned out to be 7.2.
I'm living in a 9th story building and you can feel earthquakes very easily and quite often but not too big, and of course it's NOT nice to be living in a building like this in a seismic zone, that's why we just purchased our house (and YES the main reason was precisely because of the earthquakes) sometimes i even have a hard time to go to sleep just because i start worrying about an earthquake.
Thank God we are going to move to our new house by July 26, which it's a 2 story house, but it's a LOT better that being in a 9th story building.
