Yeah, I was joking with that comment. Moist soil like what the galleria is built on is actually a much higher earthquake risk due to liquefaction.

I talked to my grandmother who lives right near the NY/Quebec/Ontario border and she didn’t feel a thing. My uncle who lives next door however ran over to her house to see if everything was ok because apparently it was bad enough up there to knock a couple pictures off his wall. Grandma tends to miss things in her old age I guess. :lol:

I felt nothing while a couple of contractors I have to babysit did feel it.  
Along with coworkers in other buildings.

I think i’ll go find Geoff and talk about it.

I was out on the boat today and it was super calm, then all of a sudden we started seeing waves and the water got real rough and then stopped. It was so bizzare, now i know why.

About 5 minutes after the quake I was pissed that I didn’t think to look at the little lake next to my office. Like an idiot I was too busy watching the glass of water on my desk slosh around.
