We Had An Small Earthquake Here Last Night

[Iron Woode]

Around 11:00PM Sunday we had a 4.3 quake hit the Southwestern Ontario region. It was centered in Cleveland, Ohio.

I barely noticed it as I was asleep at the time but it did wake me up. Reports sat it was 3.6 in the London area.

Anyone else feel it?

A tree fell in Cleveland and you felt it in London?

A tree fell in Cleveland and you felt it in London?

Yes. It has happened a few times before. I remember at least 3 of them.

Did your bridges fall down?

Did your bridges fall down?

I live in a different London, Mr. Smarty-Pants.

Nope, did not feel it at all

How did you barely notice it and woke up because of it? You were shaken awake

Just a friendly side effect of your neighborhood fracking operations.

For those who have never felt an earthquake, it's a very peculiar feeling. Kind of like swaying back and forth in place. Or it might feel like a faint vibration going through your head and if you easily get motion sick, you will feel a bit nauseous. Honestly it would be a non-issue if every building structure was built to absorb these quakes. But typical of us humans to build whole cities and then think of the other problems later.

I am sensitive to certain things. I don't know how to explain it.

Well, Cleveland is only 160 KM from London so makes sense it would make it to your area at a lower magnitude than the epicenter.

Didnt feel it here around 550 KM to the west near IL/WI border, but it would have been so so weak that I doubt anybody would have felt anything here.

I thought London was in England...

I thought London was in England...

It was named after that one. It was named in 1793 and was settled around 1804 and named a village in 1826. We even have a Thames River. London is Canada's 11th largest city and Canada's fastest growing city.

So this was all a ploy to get London, Ontario, Canada on the map

4.5 is about where I'd start to notice when I lived in LA. I still remember a 7.1 at like 2AM and after about a minute of swaying I jumped down from my bunk bed to yell at my roommate to stop tossing off and then realized he went home for the weekend and I just jumped back to bed. Then thought people were pulling my leg the next morning when they said we got hit by a huge quake.

Kind of depends. Big ones sway for a while. Little ones just usually feel like a jolt.
