| [slm] I was just reading about that. Did any of the east coasters get scared? I regularly sleep through earthquakes that less then 7 on the richter scale. When it gets to be 7, my eyes open and I look around the room. If it last for more then 30 seconds, I situp in bed. And when its more then a minute, I say OH OH. BTW: every point on the richter scale means its 10 times in magnitude more powerful then the one before. a 7 earthquake is 100 times more powerful then a 5 earthquake. |

| [slm] Yes- I was scared. At first i thought the old wooden chair I was sitting in was about to collapse- then I thought I was getting dizzy and about to faint. I stood up and walked into the living room and saw the water in the fish tank sloshing around... It was about then i realized what was happening. Stuff like this is very unusual for us. Thanks for posting that information. We almost never have earthquakes. I did not know what 5.1 meant. Thanks for putting a perspective on it! |

| assalaamu alaikum When i was in Pakistan about a decade ago, i slept through an earthquake too. It was powerful enough to make the stone arches in the house i was living in bend, as my mum tells me. I also, slept through the massive storm in the UK in 1987. But i still consider myself to be a light sleeper! *smile* Anyhow, has anyone ever wondered about the coincidence that the homosexual capital of the world is situated on top of the San Andreas fault?

| Is that the earthquake that hit eastern Ontario, western Quebec, parts of Vermont and parts of New York ??? I saw it on the news last night. They were saying that there's a region of high activity in western Quebec and that there's actually one or two earthquakes per day. :o Most of them are so small, however, that they go undetected. Approximately every ten years there's an earthquake of the magnitude of the one yesterday. :-[ Julie :) |

| My parents felt this one too. They were still in bed and my Mom thought that my nephew (who is staying with them for a couple of weeks) was at the bottom of the bed shaking it, trying to get them up. :-/ |
