Fortunate that it’s not in a populated area. It seems a subduction zone quake and hopefully it won’t trigger a bigger one like the Boxing Day Earth Quake and Tsunami was preceded by another large quake.

Queen Charlotte Islands. Not a lot of people there, luckily. At first I was thinking it was Vancouver Island, which did have a tsunami at one time.

They have issued a tsunami warning since this isn’t a deep quake.

So! The East and West coasts are being attacked currently. Too much of a coincidence, full moon or not.
