Felt it here in fonthill as well (out side of st.catharines). The walls were really bloody shaking and the door frame of the room i was in sounded like it was cracking.

Grew up in California and been through plenty. Most notably the 1989 Loma Prieta (Bay bridge series quake) hitting 6.9 on the Richter Scale.

They can be real freaky but I got somewhat accustomed to them as we had a large string up in the Lake Tahoe area about 3 years ago.

Really Poison? Man, guess living 6 blocks from Parliment keeps m power stable.

My folks in Petawawa had it good

I would love to be in the street [or somewhere safe] during a quake. Would also like to see and tornado and stuff Im sure its very frightening if you are actually there but when you live in a country that at most gets a bit of wind and rain, it just looks exciting !

I think i am odd in that i like bad weather though. As soon as there is a thunder storm i am outside in a flash, i love the show

Everybody seems to be talking about this earthquake. We get some in Texas but not very big. Idk if i wanna experience a bigger one though.

Yha luke.... Its been downgraded from initial 5.7 to 5.5 and now 5.0

I guess due to the rock, a small quake comes out feeling big, and travels far.
