Just happened./ je viens de le ressentir 30 minutes avant / ago

Un séisme de magnitude 4,5 frappe la région de Montréal

Un séisme de cette ampleur est d'ailleurs peu susceptible de causer des dommages. Le dernier tremblement de terre d'importance au Québec a eu lieu au Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean le 25 novembre 1988. Il avait été de magnitude 5,8.

Only news in english at this time from CBC is :
Magnitude 4.5 earthquake hits, centred near Longueuil. Did you feel it? Any damage to report? #cbcmtl

Parfois un petit en cache un plus gros dans les 24h qui suivent...

Yup les répliques... mais bon ici c'est historiquement très faible !
Pas assez d'activité sismique pour tout.. bousiller !
Heureusement !!! :smile:

I'm curious as to the duration? Anything knocked off the shelf?

 

[Doc Holliday]

No big deal. The people staying at my hotel complain about the same thing to hotel management whenever i'm in the city. They fail to realize that it's not an earthquake: it's just the Doc entertaining. :eyebrows:

I'm curious as to the duration? Anything knocked off the shelf?

Nope nothing off shelves ... really nothing :smile:
But I went throught all the house to check if everything was good !
Especially furnace and ... oil tank... I have to get rid off this last one soon !!!
About duration I would say between 5 and 10 seconds... Enough to realize "Oh... hahem looks like an earthquake!"

It was around 12:20 am that I heard a loud bang while drifting off to sleep. Followed by some good shaking for a few seconds. It is good to occasionally be reminded that the earth under us is not just passive static rock. It can surprise us although thankfully not as much as in Japan and other places on fault zones.

 

[Lily from Montreal]

Yes It woke me up, I am happy that finally I was not imagining it loll

 

[old_beginner]

I live on the South Shore and was calmly seated, watching television. It first started by a progressively increasing vibration for a few seconds, then I heard a big bang and my sofa was shakened; after the bang, the vibrations rapidly decreased. Total duration: about 5 seconds. I immediately thought about an earthquake but I also remembered about the big bang from an hydrogen reservoir explosion from a Montreal East refinery who produced a similar bang and vibration.

I just thought that for once if someone was having sex at that moment the girl could truthfully answered that if was a earthshaking feeling if the guy asked ''how was it ? '' loll

 

[Techman]

I felt it last night. I was watching a movie and thought my subwoofer might have been turned up too high so I muted the volume but it continued. Lasted for a good 10 maybe 15 seconds I guess. Nothing fell over or rattled but I felt the vibration and heard a low rumble. It sounded like a heavy snow plow going by after a light snow fall.

 

[snoodle]

I was masturbating in my bed as i was about to cum, the earthquake hit !!!

OMG i was freaking out !

 

[ezekiel]

Well i was as well watching a movie .... Though here i was wondering if it wasn't something wrong with the building .... For a moment i was kind of scared of..

 

[man77777]

it is funny to see what everybody here were doing when it happened (at 00h19 exactly)...loll

C'est vrai que le plus interessant n'est pas de savoir ce que les gens ont pensé a ce moment la, mais plus d'apprendre ce que plein de gens différents font a la même seconde exactement... Ca donne un peu le vertige de penser a toutes ses vies qui se déroulent en parallele de la notre...

 

[sigma69]

en effet, ça m'a fait la même impression...un peu comme, quel était le titre de ce film français, la femme a une coupe de cheveux carré, toupet court noir...au début elle se demande combien de couple faisaient l'amour en même temps, et on voit plein de résidences de son cartier, pris au hasard, en train de s'envoyer en l'air...

Le fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain.
Très bon film. :smile:

..elle se demande combien de couple faisaient l'amour en même temps,

Ah ah! La réponse était 10 je pense! Je me demande combien ca en prendrait en même temps pour causer un tremblement de terre de 4.5. Tout le monde, à go on fait l'amour.
