EARTHQUAKE.................

[El Zorro]

Whoa Nellie! At 1:51 Tuesday afternoon I was in the shop fixing some boom tubes on my Gas Rigger when the whole shop began to shake. The 8 foot long lights suspended from the ceiling were swaying back and forth and this went on for about 15 seconds. At first I thought it was a large dump truck going down the street, but it just kept making noise. The news stations are saying it was a 5.9 . The epicenter was about 60 miles northwest of where we are at ( Mechanicsville is 7 miles northeast of Richmond ). We are fine here, just hope that we don't have any aftershocks. I don't have time to spend worrying about this stuff................gotta work on boats and make some turn fins!

That is correct! I felt in here in Mississauga (just west of Toronto) - it only lasted for about 5-8 seconds....My chair started moving and my coffee was shaking from side to side!

glad to hear you guys down richmond way are doing well ! i was under a car on the lift at work, believe me, i bailed like a scared rabbit. i thought the lift was coming down or pulling out of the floor, when i realized that it wasn't just the lift, an earthquake crossed my mind, but didn't think that was it, 'cuz they're pretty rare for us. then i heard the news.......

foley, closest you ever got to an earthquake was when a sinkhole opened up, pass me another beer.

Robin i did the sdame thing, we went back to work today after a 2 week strike and i was on the computer when i noticed out of the corner of my eye the window was shaking, jumped up ran out into the parking lot, left everything behind money, phones, glasses, computer,keys too. We have a old cinder block building and the last thing i wanted was for it to start crumbling down with me in it. My boss crawled under his desk and screamed.......... "EARTHQUAKE " :wacko: :wacko: :wacko: :wacko: :wacko: :wacko: :wacko:

There were reports of the tremors here in Kalamazoo but I felt nothing. I had just gone to a meeting at work and was standing, never felt a thing yet there were postings on Facebook about locals saying buildings were swaying, etc. I don't know what they were on but they sure didn't pass it around! MIS reported on FB of feeling it and Randy Rapedius said he felt it over in Canada.
