As I am recovering from 2 broken ribs I was resting in bed this afternoon when my bed shook. It shook enough to make my dogs sit up and take notice. Even the TV on my rather heavy tall dresser was weaving back and forth! Did anyone else feel the tremors.
Apparently there was an earthquake in Ottawa that caused this.
Wow! Detroit too? I'll have to call home this evening and see if my dad felt it. Last time Detroit felt anything from an earthquake was in 1984, and it was so minor that few people even noticed it.
Supposedly it hit us at 143PM. I know for a fact that at that time I was driving east on Sheridan Dr in Tonawanda, roughly between Colvin and Parker. I didn't feel a thing. Others I've corresponded with on sites similar to this one, who were in approximately the same area, said they felt it. Could it be that because I was driving I didn't feel it? Maybe it felt as if a big truck was going by and that's why I thought nothing of it?
In any case, yes, it seems many in here did feel something.
Was up in Bancroft the day of earth q.....200kl from epicentre....
It was a good shake for this small mining town....stores had alot of rattling on shelves and
I will say...as I was snoozing (jet lag).......bed rattled pretty good and window rattled for 40sec and then another 30 sec.
Every one talked about it.
