No further info at this time

 

It's on the north end of Vancouver Island ... a (relatively) low-population area near Prince Rupert, B.C., and not too far south of Ketchikan, Alaska. Hopefully everyone has time to reach higher ground.

If one of these suckers ever strikes a more populated area (I'm thinking Vancouver the city, Seattle, etc.) it could be horrible chaos and destruction.

 

I live on Vancouver Island but didn't feel anything, was in a hockey rink where there was an actual hockey game going on. No one I have talked to felt anything or knew anything about it but I am on the East coast of the Island and about two thirds the way down. So I'm not expecting any tsunami to reach me where I'm at.

Screwed up though between one side of the continent getting bracing for the hurricane and a massive earthquake on the other -- biggest in Canada in 60 years. Is it too early for a "We're all going to die!"?

 

Now there's a tsunami watch in Hawaii.

 

We're all going to die!

feel better, beef?
