Ahaha.. yeah, that was a bit odd. ;) I had only fallen asleep 3 hours earlier, and yet here I was, being jiggled in my bed by an earthquake. ;)

We felt it way up North in Quebec... 06:55. Actually, it's the Cats "Clawing" at me that woke me up! :-) You know what that means?? Hide the Porcelain! LOL Anik

Well, if memory serves. There's a tiny Fault line that follows the Eastern coast. Maine & Montreal are not that far apart... An earthquake of 3(Richter scale) can be felt for over 1000 KMs... But, you know! This felt more like an aftershock. It was too steady. Anyhow, Hope it's nothing more then Mother Nature! For there are worst things then her tantrums. Anik

posersnet, you should report this directly to CL. it's a serious bug and can definitly damage your hardware (and even your house) ;) seriously, glad it was a small one...

How weird, I was working on the computer and my moniter started to shake, I thought it was my eyes going....we are in Upstate NY, about 300 miles away from Albany....weird. Sharen

........ News Flash.... Directly from the source. Be very affraid! The Canadains have just developped a secret weapon! Nah! But, the EpiCenter is just 10 Kms South of Montreal! :-) That's why we felt it for over 2 minutes here... Well, back to Modeling! Anik

Associated Press reported a moderate quake centered 17 miles east of Plattsburgh, NY registering 5.1 on the Richter scale. I know my computer doesn't generate that much energy! Only when trying to render 2 Vickies, Stephanie and Jim Burton's San Francisco Hair (times three) Glad I didn't cause this one.

Ooops! Typo error! I meant to say 100 Kms South of Montreal! So that would be Upstate New York. I didn't get my coffe yet... LOL Anik

The AP report: "An earthquake felt from Maine to Pennsylvania rattled the Northeast Saturday morning with a preliminary magnitude measured at 5.1, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. The earthquake hit just before 7 a.m. and was centered about 15 miles southwest of Plattsburgh, in northern New York near the Vermont and Canadian borders. The USGS National Earthquake Information Center reported the earthquake occurred at a depth of about 5 kilometers." I thought the Canadians "might" be responsible... we've been watching you folks for a while near Lake George ya know?... but I guess you're off the hook... this time Anik. ;)

Well, I'm on Long Island and I felt it down here. :/ Earthquakes worry us here! We live on a big pile of sand surrounded by water. It shakes enough and we will be sinking in a big mud pile. :(

I felt the earthquake at work. I am located where the right hand point on the star is. Just across the lake from Plattsburg. Probably just knocked over a few cows ;) smerc

We never get any fun things like earthquakes in England... you hear reports of very small tremors, but nothing major. I suppose I should be glad though :)

Well now you guys know what it feels like to live in California : ) Rock and Roll, ya'll!

I'm with DMented on this one, the occasional hurricane is one thing, but glad we don't get to feel the earth moving too often. No hang on should I rephrase that..... no don't bother now. Hope everyone is okay.
The greatest part of wisdom is learning to develop the ineffable genius of extracting the "neither here nor there" out of any situation...."

lol @ cho I hope everyone is okay too, didn't mean to appear so flippant in my last post - sorry...

Wow, this is so weird. Just Thursday we had 5 tornados touch down in Wisconsin (with a few others that didn't make it to the ground) and today there's an earthquake in New York. What is going on? I hope everyone on the coast is ok. back to the regularly scheduled rendering
Remember...getting lost is the senic route to the eventual destination. (And a lot prettier than the straight road)

hmmm...? signs that the end is near? i dunno

What?? It's not the first & certainly not the last! Consider this: Earth Life 10 million years Human Species: 20,000 years. So, what we have witnesed so far is nothing more then a blink of an Eye! ;-) Anik

Well, it was my first earthquake, and although I was glad no one was hurt badly, and there wasn't that much damage, it sure was a hoot.....I know it sounds bad, some people have suffered so in earthquakes. Amazing what weather can do. Sharen

I slept right through it. And so did my dog. So it couldn't have been all that bad. :-)
