I did check Google maps and calculate that the Ontario quake epicenter is about 574 miles (~ 924 km) from Ann Arbor. That's still quite a distance for a 5.5 quake to be felt.

Earthquake!! Ann Arbor

Posted by: ArborPics, 6:07 PM GMT on June 23, 2010

A small earthquake "hit" Ann Arbor at 1:40:00 PM Eastern Daylight Time (2010-06-23). I'm probably one of the few people who felt it - it was very mild, a gentle rocking (of my fifth floor apartment) which lasted about 40 seconds. I doubt many people felt it because most would not be at any height above ground. Like the last time (April 2006), it will probably not even be reported locally. I do wonder where the epicenter was for this one. The last one which ca...

Australian eight year drought, wild fires, heat wave. Recent years saw the same thing in the upper and southeast U.S. Arctic sea ice melting away.

Wunder Maps

Posted by: ArborPics, 8:51 AM GMT on February 24, 2008

Wunder MapsNice new feature - I found a way to display a fairly high resolution image of Argo Pond (at the North end of the town of Ann Arbor) where I took a long walk last Friday and got some great photos of robins, woodpeckers and a pair of bluebirds. I then sent a copy of the satellite photo of Argo Pond marked with the locations where I took photos to a friend in California. He was impressed because he'd already seen some of my photos and could now understand...
