At first I thought it was just a few heavy guys running down the hallway but it went on a little longer than that... smile

Detroit -- No, you're not imagining it: We did have an earthquake.
According to the United States Geological Survey, the Michigan/Ontario border felt an earthquake measuring 5.5 on the Richter Scale at 1:41 p.m. today.

"There was an event that measured in the mid to low 5 range on the Richter Scale," said USGS seismologist Paul Earle. According to Earle, the first indications placed the epicenter somewhere around the Michigan/Ontario border. A few moments later it was established on the Ontario/Quebec border, about 33 miles away from Ottawa.

The USGC web site at http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/recenteqsus/Quakes/us2010xwa7.php said the earthquake occurred almost 12 miles below the surface.

According to Earle, the USGS has a website at http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/dyfi/ where citizens can post the who, what, when, where and "wow" of the earthquake


"When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies but the pack survives."
Winter is Coming

Now this is the Law of the Jungleā€”as old and as true as the sky; And the wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die.
As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk, the Law runneth forward and back; For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.
