Anybody live up that way? Everything O.K.? I'm headed to Vancouver for a conference next month & am wondering what the situation is.

Link here.

Thx!

Angel,

I live in the Seattle area, about 4 hours away. Not a shake, rattle or roll here. Local news will have something in an hour or so, I'm sure.

 

[CatDaddy]

Cool.

Thanks for the reply!

Judging from the location given on your linked source, it was in the ocean about 100 miles west of the city of Vancouver. Big news if you are a geologist, probably not much happening in Vancouver as far as the local folks are concerned.

I'm unfamiliar with the area, but I know quakes can be felt a ways away. When the New Madrid fault would rumble we'd occasionally feel it in Battle, Kentucky (southcentral part of the state).

all quiet on south Camano Island this morning.

That should be 260 miles West of Vancouver

This will give you some perspective as to where we are at.

Victoria B.C. is due west from me about 6o miles and we did not notice or feel a thing outside of Mount Vernon, Anacortes, Washington.

OK, so I was 160 miles off , I was just eyeballing his map and doing a rough milage estimate based on a crummy small map I had in the office of Canada, used the scale of miles and made a guess. I'm just happy it was in the ocean and not downtown Vancouver. It's too pretty a city filled with nice folks to be hit with an earthquake. Now on the otherhand, there are some places in the world that could use a good earthquake.

Vancouver is a very pretty city and the people are great. It's only a 3 hour drive from Seattle, so it's easy to go for an overnight stay. Lots of things to do. Lots of history.

Any good music venues? Or other interesting nightspots?

I'm going to be there 4 days & don't just want to sit in the hotel or end up in "tourist traps".

TIA!
