ONTARIO EARTHQUAKE 2010

EARTHQUAKE JUNE 2010

[This was a Facebook exchange which I’ve decided to save for its references to Kangaroo history]

Karl H. von Harten Felt a minor shake which startled the cat out of the garden shed as I was taking this year's first harvest of spinach, about an hour ago. Hear now it was a 5.3 quake; much bigger than what I experienced in L.A. in 1976 (more)

Karl H. von Harten but wasn't as noticeable as in 76...probably because I'm 280 miles from epicentre, and was only 15 miles from epicentre then.

Wolfgang Hild Where are you at now? I also experienced a big one this year in Chile. I was in Santiago in Feburary when the earthquake hit. There was lots of damage and was fortunate to come home safe.

Karl H. von Harten I'm in Brampton, north-west of Toronto; the epicentre was near Ottawa. Unfortunately the earth didn't swallow our politicians.

Karl H. von Harten The L.A. quake was a 3.2

Erik von Harten Didn't notice a thing here

Karl H. von Harten Half the other tenants of this household didn't notice anything either; it was a very momentary thing; I probably wouldn't have given it another thought if it weren't for the cat's unusual behaviour.

Wendy Bull Oehring I felt it, thought I was dizzy so I went and had a nap:)

Robbin Warde Jaymes remembers sleeping through that one at the inclusive language convention.

Jaymes Gormann yeah; JoAnne filibustered until one a.m. for the commy side; bored to tears; had to crash solidly after that. They won. It was a major victory for editors over writers.

Karl H. von Harten still burns 34 years later? But I was up all night writing the minority report for presentation at the convention next day. Explains my golf score, remember, lol?

Karl H. von Harten although we did joke about the quake changing the fairways

Amanda Rudnicki oooo

Andrea Riel-Lean [getting back to your spinach comment] are you still using that sesame oil, cider vinegar & honey dressing on the spinach? let's start the season! I'll be right over!
