蒙特利尔昨夜发生地震

蒙特利尔东南37公里处发生4.5级地震

加拿大自然资源部（Natural Resources Canada）证实，东部时间10月10日0点19分，蒙特利尔附近发生4.5级地震，震中位于蒙特利尔东南37公里处。

自然资源部地震学家伯恩特（Allison Bent）表示，地震持续数秒钟，震感较强烈，足以引起房屋震动，不过不至于造成严重损坏，最多可以让桌子上的物体发生震动或位移。伯恩特还说，有些在首都渥太华的居民表示他们也感觉到了地震。

蒙特利尔警方证实，目前没有人员伤亡或财产受损的报告。

A small earthquake was felt in and around the Montreal region early this morning, baffling some residents but causing no known damage.
Natural Resources Canada seismologist Allison Bent said it was a magnitude 4.5 quake and was centred east of the city.
"The epicentre is 21 kilometres west-northwest of Saint Hyacinthe, and that's about 37 kilometres from Montreal," Bent said in an interview from Ottawa.
There were no reports of damage, although the quake did create jitters that had some people scurrying briefly from their houses.
Laval, just north of Montreal, received 911 calls — more than 1,060 of them within 20 minutes of the tremor. Montreal had a higher than normal volume of calls as well.
"People were asking what exactly was happening. The 911 operators worked a good chunk of the night to reassure people and answer the stream of calls," Const. Simon Delorme of Montreal police said.
The temblor lasted about 10 seconds, causing buildings to rumble. But Bent said any serious damage was highly unlikely, and both the Montreal and Laval police forces said they had no reports of any.
Felt as far as OttawaBent added there have been reports that a few people in the Ottawa area felt the quake.
CBC's Leah Hendry reported from Montreal that she initially thought that a truck might have gone by the three-storey walk-up where she lives with her husband.
"We both looked at each other and think: 'We lived four years in Vancouver and we experience an earthquake in Montreal,' " she said.
Hendry said she could see some lights flickering, but saw no obvious damage.
People who wrote to CBC Montreal said they felt their homes vibrating.
"I just felt the building tremble at 12:19 a.m. Was it an earthquake or something else? My roommate noticed the building shaking too. Weird," one wrote.
"Felt like an earth tremor a few minutes ago. House vibrated and noise," another said in an email.
'Very bad memories'Dominique Anglade, a senior executive of the provincial Coalition Avenir Québec party, was one of the many people who took to Twitter to describe the quake.
A member of Montreal's large Haitian community, Anglade lost her parents in Haiti's devastating earthquake two years ago. The pair were the first Canadians confirmed dead in the disaster.
She wrote that the quake evoked "very bad memories" for her.
In Montreal's west downtown area, a couple of people briefly rushed outside as their windows shook in a four-storey apartment building near the former site of the Forum hockey arena.
Minor Montreal-area quakes commonCBC meteorologist Johanna Wagstaffe, who is also a seismologist, said the Montreal region has approximately one earthquake every five days, but most are too weak to be felt.
Before Wednesday, the most recent tremor of significant magnitude in the area was a 3.0 last Thursday located about six kilometres north of Huntingdon, a small community southwest of Montreal near the U.S. border. Three other earthquakes since Sept. 15 have been felt in Quebec, according to Natural Resources Canada.
Because the Montreal area is far from the edge of any tectonic plates, earthquakes tend to be less concentrated but can be felt over hundreds of kilometres.
Small aftershocks may be possible, Wagstaffe warned.
According to the United States Geological Survey the two most damaging earthquakes in the region happened in 1935 and 1732.
A quake with magnitude between 2 and 3 is the lowest normally perceptible to humans. A magnitude 5 quake is considered moderate.

刚才我的桌子在颤抖，我知道----蒙特利尔地震了

吃着鸡汤饭看着别人的博克，突然感觉到膝盖在颤抖。我摸着膝盖，原来是桌子在颤抖。顺着桌子摸到地面，原来地面也在颤抖。我吓得脸都白了。

莫非四川绵阳地震我躲过了，又跑到蒙特利尔来了？
我唰地跑到门口的猫眼看我的邻居是否都出来了。结果就一个印度大姐抱着一堆衣服去洗衣房。她MS很平静。
难道是我的身体出问题了？？我坐在床上摸着我的腿，还是觉得地面在抖。
正当我觉得天空都是灰色的此时，我打量四周看看家里有没有可以躲得地方，我记得大空间有阻挡物的地方可以减低物理对身体的伤害，然后，我又看看四周的食物和水源/还在思量中，短信来了。DIDIDI
我打开一看，2毛问我刚才感觉到地震了吗？我一直怀疑的态度一下扭转回来了。正视后，的确地震刚才已经发生过了。轻微的，来过了。

我家住17楼。如果正确躲开地震？！难道2012真的要来？来了也好，提前把信用卡刷暴。。
