Booche Posted June 23, 2010 Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 Velvet was all sweaty so I refused to hug him. Best part of my day was his reaction."Earthquake?"You must have just went with the flow. Keep on rollin' and tumblin' buddy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ersh Posted June 23, 2010 Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 Everything started to shake... and I could hear my house cracking and shifting. It freaked me out, and if it would've lasted any longer, I would've cracked a beer. Actually, I'm gonna crack that beer anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ms.Huxtable Posted June 23, 2010 Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 It felt pretty crazy where I was as well. I was in a meeting and the catering table sounded of clinking glasses, a couple ladies screamed and my boss and I gave each other a "holy shit, what do we do?" look, and then it stopped.My legs were shaky for a good hour afterward. Awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Wooly Mammoth Posted June 23, 2010 Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 I was at my daughter’s grade 6 graduation ceremony, in the gym, at Rockliffe Park Public School. They were in the middle of handing out the awards when the building rumbled and shook for several seconds. Almost immediately people started screaming and running for the exits, while some dude stood in the middle of the room screaming for everybody to get out immediately and causing further panic. I was sitting with my son and calmly got up, assessed the situation and saw no immediate danger. There was still a line up at the exits, so I decided to pick up my bag, camera, and wife’s purse, while she was standing on the other side of the room screaming for me to get out. Since the exits were not clear, I continued to grab our stuff realizing that there was no way for me to leave yet anyway. She said she was reacting to the screaming dude, thinking that he knew something we all did not, like maybe it was a bomb and this was somehow related to Stephen Harper (his daughter is in grade 5 at the school). I just kept thinking who is this guy and why won’t he shut up. I assumed that it was “just†an earthquake and since the building was not crumbling did not feel in danger at any time. And stayed very calm, especially for my son. I couldn’t quite understand the immediate rush to the exits. It was bizarre. Someone mentioned that a couple of the adults immediately screamed and ran for the doors which is what set the whole thing off. Yup - major panic. That’s the best way to react to these situations. We were lucky nobody got hurt. On my way out I noticed many chairs knocked over. As my wife said, it was a sign that these kids are going to be big movers and shakers!

bouche Posted June 23, 2010 Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 I've said it before and I'll say it again, earthquakes can be caused by the H.A.A.R.P. earthquake weapon owned by the US. They're currently making sure every country knows that they are not untouchable.don't believe the lies! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're currently making sure every country knows that they are not untouchable.don't believe the lies!I know you're trying to be funny, but when there are no fault lines or earthquake zones and no reason for an earthquake to occur and there is an earthquake, that's about the only time HAARP comes into any sort of discussion.There are loads of fault lines in this area and earthquakes are not uncommon, though a 5.5 is fairly noteworthy. quakes in the past week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
