The first quake I felt in my building made me sick for hours... the building swayed so badly that the pictures were swinging back and forth. I got into a doorway that is cement surrounded... it just was swinging back and forth like a pendulum... Living high up is nice most of the time, but not in a quake

Status: offline 		A 5.0 is a nice size earthquake. Big enough to give you a ride worth noticing, not big enough to create massive destruction. Really though, it's the fun of watching people who've never felt one, as they get completely freaked out by it.

I live 8 stories up... in a historical building.... 5.5 was enough for me to catch my breath and hope is was going to stop soon

The question is, will Canada tip up with all that weight and sink.

I totally felt nothing.

The Brits are pretty chunky too....lol...everyone knows the Island you all live on is sinking because of the weight.... hell, that is why you guys had to colonize other parts of the world! Is it our fault you sent your gene pool over here?
