Quake - Vancouver BC
« on: April 24, 2014, 07:42:47 AM »
You guys up north feel that?  :o

PORT ALICE, British Columbia -- A magnitude 6.6 quake was recorded Wednesday night in the Pacific Ocean off the northwest corner of British Columbia's Vancouver Island, the U.S. Geological Survey's National Earthquake Information Center said.
There were no immediate reports of damage or injuries. There was also no danger of a tsunami, according to the U.S. National Tsunami Warning Center in Palmer, Alaska.
The quake hit at 8:10 p.m. local time and was centered about 25 miles southwest of Port Alice, British Columbia, and about 280 miles northwest of Seattle, Washington.
It occurred at a depth of 7 miles and was followed by aftershocks of magnitude 5.0 and 4.2, the USGS said.

wow 6.6 is pretty big! I remeber the 6.9 we had in Seattle about 10 years ago, it shook things up and did some damage to older buildings.

Reports in Vancouver are varied.
Some said they noticed lights gently swaying or ornaments rattling on a shelf while others say they felt the earth move. Personally it takes a bit more than 6.6 to rock me world.

I still remember standing in a doorway in west van with my mother while things rocked back and forth then when it slowed down her pushing me out side. I had to be 4-5 at the time so 70 years ago I thought it was funny. The coast has always jumped around it bit.
