We did a Seattle/Vancouver/Victoria vacation about 10 years ago....we also went into some islands in that area...forget the name now...beautiful place.

Let’s hope this isn’t a prelude to something bigger, not that a 6.7 isn’t big...it is. Hopefully no tsunamis are generated.

Vancouver Sun’s website says no reports of any damage. Same for Victoria.

Almost unpopulated at northern tip of Vancouver Island.

You said it. I ventured out there to see the Pacific Rim park one time thinking it was just a quick drive from Victoria. Like idiot tourists, we headed out with 2 small children and no provisions thinking we'd stop at restaurants there and back. Ha! When we finally got there after traveling logging roads for a long time, we found a small town - more like a village - and only one sort-of restaurant, which was closed. We asked a local resident if we could buy some bread, lunchmeat and water. They sent us to an out-of-season hunting lodge to track down a woman who made breakfast and dinner for the hunters in-season. We had potato soup and ham sandwiches while sitting on her couch. We almost had to spend the night with her because it was going to be dark soon and she was afraid we'd get lost on the logging roads. It was a trip to remember.

Looks like the clockwise movement around the Ring of Fire will be complete soon, Chile, New Zealand, Japan, Vancouver....San Francisco/Los Angeles you’re next.

I’m off to Wal-Mart to get 100 cans of Vienna sausages, candles and 24 cases of Fiji water.

I’ll see if they carry Honda generators.

Oh, I do believe this was talked about as the plate that could be the next big one after the Japan-Pacific quake last March 11.

Sounds like a very typical story for the area. Once, in the winter, I got a ‘72 Camaro stuck in the snow along a logging road near Port Alberni. Some nice Canadian stopped and pulled me out. Now that I have a 4WD and such I’m still waiting to return the favor to someone.

Let’s all hope that remains a WAG.

(Especially since I live just a bit north of Yellowstone, and anything that shakes Cascadia would probably start something over here as well.)

Time to buckle down on the west coast. Seems like any quake in the 6.0 range is followed by another down the line.

“I have seen a map of the Pacific Ring of Fire that showed that the only location on that ring not to have had a Mega quake in the last 50 years is the Cascadia Subduction Zone. The last one was in 1700 which was between a 9 and 10 on the scale.”

This. I have family up there. Sure hope the big one doesn’t hit.

Port Hardy.. I’ve been there. You can take the inland passage ferry all the way up the coast to some fantastic salmon fishing.

If I go fill the bath tub now will the big one just empty it out?

Not familiar with webicorder and your analysis. Could you explain it to me?
