Modern Vespa

A good portion of Southern Ontario apparently. Shaken and stirred by a 5.0 earthquake this afternoon while I was working. Thank goodness I wasn't taking a scalpel to anyone at the time. My office was shaking pretty good for a bit there. Apparently there isn't much in the way of reported damage. The epicentre of the quake was north of Ottawa (our capital) in western Quebec. I've now felt two earthquakes while at work. I'm not fond of them and hope not to feel any more thank you very much. I know what we had today was nothing in comparison to quakes that many of you get, but they are still a bit off putting.

Glad you're OK.
I wondered about the scalpel thing too.

Holy crap, glad you're ok Benny... looks like it was felt all the way from Michigan to Maine!

Ummm, welcome to California!?!

I was wondering how Benny was doing too!

If we're going to start getting quakes like you nice folks in California, I'd like to have your weather year round to go with it at least.

It really wasn't bad, I think it lasted something like 30 secs. At no point did I feel in danger. Don't forget we're about 5 hours driving distance from Ottawa so we didn't get the 5.0. I have no idea what strength it was here, but it couldn't have been that much at all. We're just wimps when it comes to these things as we have so few quakes. Thank goodness. It was nice of you all to think of me though.

Earthquakes are definitely part of the game here in CA.

I remember one where I was outside and I could see the "ripples" of the quake travel down the street. Looked like a giant dropped a rock into a lake. Very odd to see asphalt and trees move like water.

So it was kinda like slowing from 30-20 MPH on a GTS then.

We felt in Mtl too.. let's hope it wont happen again for a long time..

we felt it in CT as well. some buildings were evacuated for safety.

Sacrifice the body, SAVE THE SCOOTER!

Apparently the building I work in is so structurally sound that we didn't feel a thing. The A/C ducts rattled, so we thought it was an A/C thing. No evac

Hey Seven, this is the first time I've seen you post here. Welcome to Modern Vespa buddy.

Did yard work ALL day yesterday and came in and crashed after getting my rear tire replaced on the LX. So i didn't even know about the quake Glad everyone is alright and the scooters as well. Man there have been some weird stuff going on this year all over the USA with F5 tornadoes, Tsunami's, quakes etc Hope were not going to have a hurricane here this summer. Mother nature sure is grumpy this year

Speaking of tornados, there was a tornado that touched down in Southern Ontario yesterday too.

weird! i just turned on the TV and there's a tornado warning here!! this weather is crazy this year. we have NEVER had so many tornado warnings in CT.
i just came home an hour ago. would be crappy to be out on the vespa right now

Some ladies on MV are wearing Immodest Pants again.

Until yesterdays tornado I wasn't even aware that we even had trailer parks here. It's gotta be true though - they attract tornado's

SANTIAGO i like shorts SEVEN your so right. Thank God we don't have them here. We don't even have billboards

With pins like yours you should wear shorts or short skirts anyway.
