A 5.0 magnitude earthquake lasted for maybe 30 seconds this afternoon.
I didn't feel a thing.
I was working out in the plant, running around where things are loud and rumbling, and when I got back to the production office they told me that it happened maybe ten minutes ago.
Now, you would think that most people's first reaction to something like this would be some fear, maybe a little panic, and mostly not enjoyable. The news sound bites show people being evacuated from office buildings, etc. I, on the other hand, was mostly disappointed that I missed out on the experience. Yeah, I know, I'm weird.
What really bums me out is that I didn't feel the last one either. It happened maybe 10 years ago, and they said that the top of the CN Tower swayed a little and so on. So really, this is like the Polkaroo for me - darn it, I missed him again!
And now they've issued a tornado warning up north. Not that I really want to experience THAT, per se, but seriously. It's the end of the world.
