I just saw this. It appears to be offshore, possible Tsunami warning? At 1.2 miles depth, that'll sure to be felt nearby. Though, I wonder if anyone in Washington felt it?

Gonna wait for the USGS to update and downgrade first before I start analyzing this.

USGS is showing it at 16.1 miles deep.

Now it`s not there suppose it was just to freak me out. It worked I freaked out for a minute. Glad I grabbed the screen capture now.

So am I, I'm glad i didn't see it, otherwise I'd have probably started an "OMG" thread and then looked like a tool when it wasn't there.

They are saying the 6.7 occurred 50 miles/80 Km south of Port Alice, British Columbia ....so yes it does appear to be just off land with no Tsunami Warning.

New Zealand also decided to add a voice:

Yeah, I have a few friends online from the lower mainland BC who says they felt something.

edit on 9-9-2011 by MamaJ because: (no reason given)

Strange, I saw that exact same comment on a friends facebook page.

"it was pretty strong here. the chandelier is still moving and it was quite a few minutes ago."

PS I sure miss my beautiful BC, earthquake and all.

Oh yes, that would be the update. The initial report listed it at 2 km (1.2 miles), but it's still rather shallow.

Also, is that the Cascadia fault?

I've heard terrible things about that one..

I come back from two weeks vaction. Haven't touched a computer. Talked to my cousing from Vancouver and told him to expect a big one soon.

First thing I did when I got home was looking at the Arkansas seimo. And there was a big squiggly line. I was hoping I hadn't missed much. There's tsunami warnings. This quake on it's only isn't my really worry.

I said, "Hans, that fault could move at anytime.'

I added that the quakes were predictable to an extent. Researchers know that near Vancour there is a 14 month pattern that can be observed in the regular swarms.

Impossible to give a timeline, it still could be a decade away.

But as I told my cuz, "That sucker's moving."

Had to edit. There's no tsunami watch.

She was around about an hour before the quake, in one of her other threads. I'm pretty damn sure she's ok, as she is one of the most prepared out there. However, we will all breathe a sigh of relief when she shows up to tell us she is.
