I figured it to be a SBD (silent but deadly). But you know what they say, you can't unring a bell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TommyK Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 The first time I saw that hole in Guatemala, I thought someone had photoshopped it. The hole was almost forstner bit perfectly round. It isn't God that I'm worried about. It's that horned one who is going to climb out of that hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pohatu771 Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 I didn't feel it either, but several people I know did from one side of the city to the other. Similar reports came from friends in Syracuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dleth Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 I happened to take the day off today and was watching a bit of tube and everything shook for a while. My 46" TV was even moving around. It shut off on its own but I didn't lose power anywhere else. I live about 50 km 30 mile from the epicenter. I promptly went out to the mancave and put my guitars in their respective cases. That is where they usuallt live anyway. Kinda freaky. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cdntac Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Felt it pretty good near North Bay. I was in a school gym sitting on a table and it was shaking pretty severe. I figured it was an earthquake but a few minutes later started thinking "Hmmm... G8/G20 in Toronto. Maybe Toronto just went BOOOOMMMM...." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
