Ikz Posted June 23, 2010 Posted June 23, 2010 Earthquake hits Ottawa - 5.5 magnitude An earthquake hit Ottawa today at 1:41pm, with a magnitude of 5.5 at its center, about 61km north of the city. We'll update more as news breaks on our @ottawastart Twitter feed, and post updates to this blog later today. Here's some info from the U.S. Geological Survey. Magnitude: 5.5 Wednesday, June 23, 2010 at 0:1:41:42PM Location: 45.955°N, 75.546°W (epicenter appears to be north of Ottawa) Depth: 19.2km Region: Ontario-Quebec Border Region, Canada Distances: * 49 km (31 miles) N (349°) from Cumberland, Ontario, Canada * 52 km (33 miles) N (10°) from Gatineau, Quebec, Canada * 58 km (36 miles) NNE (16°) from Hull, Quebec, Canada * 61 km (38 miles) N (11°) from OTTAWA, Ontario, Canada Location Uncertainty: horizontal +/- 11.5 km (7.1 miles); depth +/- 5.3 km (3.3 miles) First not extremely minor earthquake to hit the area in a very very very VERY long time, felt from where I live (300+km away) to into Quebec (another 200~km) so it was quite large scale. 2012 here we come boys oxygen tanks and airtight barrels.
watch me tb Posted June 23, 2010 Posted June 23, 2010 oh shit.. i dont rly know the scale for earth quakes, is 5.5 real bad? lots of dmg?
Ikz Posted June 23, 2010 Author Posted June 23, 2010 Well a 5.5 is in between, the highest is 10, as far as I know some buildings in Toronto had to be evacuated and I'm not sure the damage in Ottawa yet (I've had some friends living there say it was extremely bad in some places) Won't know for probably another hour.
gfdgfd Posted June 23, 2010 Posted June 23, 2010 Geodude uses magnitude. Magnitude 5.5 It's not very effective.
Carson Posted June 23, 2010 Posted June 23, 2010 the only one i've ever felt was like a 3.4 i think, which is pretty minor here in california. then again 5.5 is 21x as strong as what i felt, every 1 point on the richter scale is 10x stronger than the last so that must have been pretty damn noticable lol

So basically, the quake only lasted a minute, and during that minute you spent 55 seconds trying to get upright, and then it all ended in dissapointment?
