下午1:42分的时候,找同事Matt谈事情,刚到他座位前,听他说:“What's hell that?”。只见窗帘在晃动,以为是空调吹的。我的话还没说完,就觉得整个大厦在晃动,象是当时坐在船上的感觉,觉得大厦在平移,立即意识是地震。
女儿从家里打电话过来说是地震了,我更加确认,抓起东西,告知都站起来的同事,沿楼梯跑了下去,边跑边打电话给朋友。
停车场已经聚了一些同事和其他公司的人。大厦的一扇玻璃也已呈裂痕。有个同事正在开车,感觉到车在晃动乱扭,不听掌控。后来说是魁北克发生了5.5级地震,整个东岸都感觉到了。联想起发生在四川的大地震,感觉到大自然的威力巨大无比。
这是官方对这次地震的纪录:http://earthquake.usgs.gov/ear...enews/2010/us2010xwa7/#details
明天开始G20 峰会就要在多伦多开了。政府严阵以待,架设围墙,设置禁区,费了不少金钱来对付示威人士和恐怖袭击,给我们的生活带来诸多不便,引发民怨。但对地震,看他们有何良策。

A 5.5-magnitude earthquake has hit Ontario, according to the U.S. Geological Survey, with tremors reportedly felt as far away as Montreal, Boston and Cleveland.
The first tremor hit at 1:41 p.m. ET Wednesday.
Buildings in Toronto and Ottawa were evacuated in the minutes following the tremors.

"There are small fault lines along Lake Erie and Lake Ontario" and a "relatively active fault line that runs parallel to the St. Lawrence Valley," she said just minutes after the quake.
The last major earthquake on that fault line measured 5.4 magnitude in 1998, she said.

—Darren Bonnici, Windsor, Ont., residente the plants on our window shelf shaking. By the time we gathered in the hall and figured out it wasn't our imagination, it stopped. But it was easily a minute of things shaking."
The quake was felt as far south as Windsor, Ont., along the Canada-U.S. border.
"I was just laying in bed .... and the bed just started to move side to side ... just gently," said Darren Bonnici, who lives on the 10th floor of an apartment building along the city's riverfront.
"Sort of, almost like a mother would rock a baby in a crib," said Bonnici, adding the feeling lasted for about five seconds. "I thought right away it must have been an earthquake.
