Natural Disaster Review: Earthquake, Toronto, East Coast, June 23rd, 2010

Toronto – So everyone will probably remember where they were when the G20 Earthquake hit. Me? I was sitting at my desk doing work. Then my monitor started wiggling back and forth and the floor was kinda wonky. I was like “hmm wtf? Earthquake?”. Quickly checking twitter, then facebook, I realized that yes, it was an Earthquake. It’s incredible how slow traditional media is nowadays. The Earthquake was apparently 5.7 and hit some place near Quebec.

Luckily for us, this Earthquake was not of the biggest proportion but yet, it is a bit disturbing because it follows the trend of crazy ass natural disasters happening all around the world in the past decade – Katrina, the tsunami, Heidi Montag, and the Earthquakes that rocked Haiti, Chile, China and other places. I’ve only come to the conclusion that Earth hates us.

This was not my first Earthquake, nor the biggest I’ve experienced. The biggest was the first day I arrived in Tokyo in 2008 and I was checking out the balcony in my hotel room. I got out there, and the balcony starting shaking and my balance was way off. At first I was like “this hotel sucks! the balcony is not working!” and then when i stepped back in, it was still wonky and I was like “am I drunk?” Finally, it was confirmed there was an Earthquake. Crazy stuff.

Where were you when the Earthquake hit?
