[LibertyorDeath]

We Just Had a Quake In Vancouver.

Not Major but an extended Quake.

[dancing kali]

1. We did?

Sigh. . . missed another one.

[LibertyorDeath]

2. Our whole building was swaying we live 100 feet up

The West Coast is Due for a Massive subluxation Earth Quake

That's what the Geologists ALL agree on.

Due or Over due. Shit

[Dookus]

3. good sized quakes! there were 2

http://earthquake.usgs.gov/recenteqsUS/Maps/US10/42.52....

A 5.1 and a 6.3


Pretty good shakers! hope you're all safe!

[LibertyorDeath]

5. Thanks Dookus We're Ok where I'm at ( Vancouver B.C.)

A 5.1 and a 6.3 Wow

One of the few things that really gets me nervous

[Pachamama]

13. Any more aftershocks?

That 5.1 a few minutes later is a large one....any more?

[LibertyorDeath]

16. All quiet so far.

I'll be sleeping light tonight.

[dancing kali]

7. Thanks for the link.

Cool. . . two at once.

4. Yaletown or the West End?

I'm in Burnaby. Can't feel it here.

According to the PNSN real time seismograph
http://www.pnsn.org/WEBICORDER/GREEN/MBW_EHZ_UW.2004071... (Mount Baker West) it's still going on.

[LibertyorDeath]

6. You're in Burnaby.. Hey Neighbour!

You didn't feel that. That's amazing.

[dancing kali]

9. Must be

the wood frame construction. . . I'm in one of the last of the small single family dwellings in the neighbourhood (I'm close to Metrotown),
My windchimes aren't even moving.

edit: one of the quakes was over near Campbell River and one was down in the Olympic Peninsula.

edit #2 looking at the usgs map - it looks like it was in the Nootka Sound area. . . I hope Luna is all right.

8. East Van.

10. Wow! A 6.3? That's almost as big as what we here in the Bay Area had

in 1989....Y'all okay there? There is nothing on the news yet....

Wonder if the "Chain/Ring of Fire" is going to start shaking all the way down the West Coast....

We are overdue for a tremblor here in the Bay Area....

Report back....

[Dookus]

11. well, not quite

the richter scale is logarithmic, so the Loma Prieta quake was almost 10 times bigger than this one.

[Pachamama]

14. I know...7.1, but still, 6.3 is a good one...n/t

[Dookus]

15. Oh, no argument there....

6.3 is a good size!

I just happen to live in Santa Cruz, about 10 miles from the epicenter of the Loma Prieta quake. It did extreme damage here, and 15 years later, there are still a few empty lots downtown that haven't been rebuilt. It was a nasty quake - but I was out of the country when it occurred, so didn't feel it myself.

17. I was living in the Marina District in '89 - I know the damage the Loma P.

caused....

Thanks for the link above...was just checking it out....the quake in Vancouver shows up big and red on the map....

[Dookus]

18. ahh...

the sandy Marina district. You guys took the second biggest hit. My brother lived there at the time... luckily he was fine.

[Swamp Rat]

12. Everybody OK?

[Dookus]

19. interesting...

the USGS has removed the 5.9 quake in Washington state. I guess it was just ONE quake (now a 6.1) in Vancouver.

20. From what I've been reading

it seems that the pacific northwest has been experiencing something called episodic tremor and slip. - and they occur at regular intervals. That's as far as I understand - I'm an artist not a geo-scientist.
