Well that earthquake this afternoon was crazy! I have never experienced anything like that in my life and confess that my heart is still beating hard an hour later!
I was on a video conference call to CBS National office in Toronto and was not sure what was happening. (Don’t know if they could see the building shaking while I was talking to them?) Strange how your mind thinks in those situations! I was more concerned about staying on the call than evacuating this 88-year-old building. My colleagues on the phone felt the ground shaking in Toronto.
Early reports are that this was a 5.5 on the Richter scale and was centered about 50 km north of Cumberland, ON. That is too say that it was very close to Ottawa! People gathered out in the street to share their stories and concerns. Amazing how events like this tend to bring people together
Next time I experience something like this, I am going to evacuate the building immediately and forego the pleasantries of the video conference call! I’m sure that the dinner conversation will be interesting tonight!
Did you feel the earthquake?
