Title: Earthquake!
Post by: Jeyk on September 10, 2006, 02:21:18 pm

Did you folks know that there was a 6.0 earthquake in the Gulf of Mexico 10:56 a.m. this morning?  Apparently the vibrations were felt as far as North Carolina, due to the land being flat, which allows vibrations to travel fast.  It was about 350 miles away from my location.  I was asleep, but my uncle felt it.

Anyone else notice it this morning?

Thats pretty cool.. well not really but you know what i mean.  We had a small trumble a couple months ago in quebec, i don't remember the magnitude, but it sounded like a snow plow was running into our house, then my whole computer table shook, it was something new for me for sure.  Anyway neato!
