Trollcat and Whitegold had a moment there....

 

[Stompin Tom]

I certainly did, was sitting in the living room watching the drapes move back and forth, wondered what the heck was going on. Lasted for a good 45 seconds or so.

Kind of interesting that the quake has been felt as far east as McBride, and seems to be tracking a fair amount of the route of the Enbridge proposal. More fire for the no campaign.

Felt it south of PG. Lights were swinging, took a few seconds to figure out what the hell was going on.

Maybe the coast is getting closer to Enbridge? Lol.

Felt it pretty good here. Phones went out for a bit but no damage. Kind of gentle though almost like sea legs. I was a kid in PG in 1986 and that one was a lot more aggressive. Although im sure over in Sandspit it felt a lot stronger. Hopefully no Tsunamis.

 

[TROLLCAT]

no injurys reported yet BCTV news

 

[TROLLCAT]

1949 there was 8.9 quake so this one is the second biggest in canada at 7.7

 

[TROLLCAT]

right where they want to stick an oil pipeline !! crazy

$$$$$ signs in ther eyes thats there only worry and how to get more at any cost

 

[TROLLCAT]

they say there is a wave heading for Hawaii a 7 footer

 

[Stompin Tom]

The tsunami max recording was 69 cm's. Not a huge wave but what I found interesting is it was recorded over about 15 minutes at the tidal station in Langara Island. I guess its like a tide, it started to show a rise, peaked at 69 cm's then declined to normal over a 15 minute period. Thats allot of water moving towards you.

Jaws is going to be going off. Hope everything is good there, I'm headed to Maui in a couple weeks.

 

[Free Rider]

The big one is coming and when it hits Alberta is going to have ocean front. No need for the pipeline then. Just drive the tankers to port in Hinton

 

[imdoo'n]

looks like the directional drill hit a big freakin rock, on it's way to the coast
