We just had a small earthquake over here in Sudbury yesterday. I think its the first official one here ever. It was only a 3.4 but man, thats freaky shit.
How the hell to you west coast folks deal with that shit?

A 3.4 earthquake must be close to an E.L.E. - Extinction Level Event for Canadians with those fragile igloos!

At this point I think it's actually in our blood.
Earthquake resistance is our revenge for all the shit we get when we panic over things like tornadoes or an inch of snow on the ground.

After the first one, you just get uised to them and judge the severity... "oh, that felt like a 3.7", etc... although, the 89 SF quake I felt all the way in Newport Beach. And the 94 Northridge quake knocked out our power in SB for a couple days--even through all of the sedimentary stone between LA and SB...
Such is living on a damn tectonic plate-edge, eh? That is pretty impressive for Ontario though...

I remember years ago (maybe 5 or 6), there was a small earthquake around North Bay, and we felt it in Sudbury. It wasn't big at all, but it was different than the mine blasts we are accustomed to in the Sudbury area.
Now that I live in Anchorage, Alaska, I've felt a few earthquakes already - and I've only been here for less than a year. We had one (about a 4.2 or something) one morning just a few weeks ago. Then another one half an hour later, then another one in the evening. The quakes haven't been big, but the fact that the second largest earthquake ever recorded in the world happened here in Anchorage back in the '60's is a little unsettling.

Quakes are still freaky...even after living with them for all my life thus far. Most of the ones are like the ones you felt....3.5 - 4.5 or so...but the big ones leave an impression ) I still remember exactly what I was doing & how I felt/reacted when the loma prieta earthquake hit. I was on the 4th floor of an apartment building in downtown San Jose, and I really thought it was going down!!

Yah, I was on vacation to Lake Mead (I felt it too) when the 92' Landers quake hit by my home. I had to leave early to come home to lots of broken dishes, a few pieces of ruined china, and a gross food mess and borken jars that had fallen in my pantry.
I was relieved though, some people lost their homes to that quake.
After something like that all the other ones I've felt, like 3-4.0, are nothing. They're actually kinda fun but still freaky.
BTW, I'm not a virgin anymore... this is my first post!
