My building shook and shimmied pretty good.

There was some breif talk about evacuation, but given that we are already "working from home" tomorrow and Friday due to G20, I guess they didnt' want to cut into the work time any more.

You forgot hurricane. Hurricane is important.

I am a troll. Everything I say must be assumed to be said solely to provoke an exaggerated reaction to the current topic. I fully intend to bring absolutely no substance to any discussion, ongoing or otherwise. Conversing with me is pointless.

tsunami is big wave of water.

if you want experience volcano then you need to move to chile or iceland.

if you want experience tsunami then you need to move to asia.

hmm yeah correct..
And you can theoretically experience a tsunami if you live on the west coast. It's technically possible.

tsunami's are caused by earthquakes.. and yes the west coast is due for one.

I felt it here in Muskoka, stuff shook around for about 10 seconds, pretty cool.

People in tall buildings should potentially be able to feel that out to maybe Twin Cities to the west and Charleston to the south.

mass smoke. lots of black smoke covered where I was living due to a rather large forest fire about 100km north.

giant fireball was a large propane tank explosion and fire following at 2am. woke me up, looked out the window, saw a nice giant fireball.
Fortunately I was like 10 blocks out of the final evac zone.

I was in Mississauga when that happened (the propane explosion). I know it made the news outside of Canada, because I had friends and family from the U.S. wondering if I was okay... heh :)

tsunami = big wave.
hurricane = cyclone (that's what they call a hurricane in the southern hemisphere, apparently).

- Earth Quake during a Chemistry class, everything broke.
- Hail the size of a regular doughnut,
- Snow in June (in Chinese myths, Snow in June is a VERY bad sign),
- Neighbor's fire place was on fire, sounds like nothing, but when you see flame fly out of a chimney, it's awesome for a 9 year old.
- Rain for god knows how many days in a row.
- Thunder landing couple hundred meters away.

a 5.0 doesnt even count as a quake.

<~qzjul> it gives you a good introduction to orbital mechanics and a good appreciation for how central delta-V is and thrust to weight ratio
<RaTSFYA>The only thrust to weight ratio I'm worried about involves the women I pick up at bars

There is ALWAYS stuff to do =P

The thing is nearly all of it is in front of the computer.

Sometimes it is waiting for scripts to run.

Sometimes it is reading pdfs.

Sometimes it is downloading data.

Pretty much always with the forums one alt-tab away. =P

I was in Bar, Montenegro shortly after the large earthquake that leveled most of the city. I can't say I'm sorry I missed it, but quite amazing to see the devastation.

I saw what DL's describing in a field of cat tails once.....that's some wicked fluff!

just need some volcano insurance. There was that salesman on Family Guy that could hook you up.

You;ve made it 30 some years without experiencing one, aren't you about due? :)
