Hey all. Well did any other botters feel the quake that hit here in Ontario today.:eek:
I was cutting some parts and all of a sudden my monitor stared shaking. I put my hand on the router and I could feel it shaking too. Didn't last long and sounds like no injuries or major damage reported yet. Certainly gets you thinking of the folks in Haiti and other parts of the world you have suffered major loss during a quake not to mention all the people whose lives have been forever changed by the tornadoes, hurricanes and floods this year. If things get any worse in the gulf and hurricanes hit hard it will be raining oil. Yuk what a mess. Take care all.

I was working in Rochester. The walls and tables were moving so they evacuated the building. The news said it was 1000 times less energy than the Haiti quake. Makes you count your blessings.

felt it here in central vermont. All is well, though and I don't think it did any damage here.

There is construction/logging at a lot across the street, and a nearby ski resort has been doing construction, so there have been large dump trucks full of fill, and other equipment rumbling by all day for months. I assumed it was a truck, and really didn't think much of it. If it weren't for the news, or this thread I would have never known.

I guess I will check out our water cistern tonight, but I don't think there is any chance of damage.
