well figured I'd post this up, but yeah we had a 5.0 earthquake.
when it hit I was at work in my shuttle, thinking a huge gust of wind came up and was rocking my car for a few seconds, but didn't think anything of it until about 15 minutes later when I heard them say we had one on the radio.
So where where you when the quake hit?

Too much hype over this "earthquake". It was actually 5.5
And I didn't feel anything.....oh well maybe next time.
When it comes to relationships, maybe we're all in glass houses, and shouldn't throw stones. Because you can never really know. Some people are settling down, some are settling and some people refuse to settle for anything less. Than butterflies...

I was inside -- and didn't feel a thing.
I even missed a police chase through my neighbourhood while I was running.... a real 'head up my ass' kind of day...

i was napping half on my bed half off and almost fell off my bed when my house started shaking. interestingly enough my dad who was at the bank just down the street...maybe 800meters or less didn't feel anything.
Little bit of show, little bit of go.

I was sitting at my desk, wondering what the fawk was going on with my coworkers. We felt it good, being only about 60 km as the crow flies from the epicenter.
Unfortunately, my government building is only 1 floor, so I didn't get sent home early. Some of my friends downtown did though...

I personally didn't feel anything I was outside on the patio having lunch and people started running out of the building saying that it was shaking, At 1st we thought someone drove into the building which has happened once before but after a quick perimiter check all looked good then my phone was blazing with BBM updates saying they felt the earthquake in T Dot, Scar town and ven in London.
