Magnitude-6.4 quake hits off Vancouver Island
A magnitude-6.4 earthquake has hit near Vancouver Island, Canada, the US Geological Survey (USGS) says.
The epicentre of the quake, which hit at 12:41 local time (19:41 GMT), was 289km (179 miles) west of Vancouver, the USGS reported.
The quake occurred a depth of 23km (14.3 miles), the USGS added. Eyewitness accounts say buildings swayed in central Vancouver.
However, no tsunami warning has been issued.
The closest major settlement, Port Hardy - with a population of over 5,000 - has received no reports of damage caused by the earthquake.
Police in Seattle, more than 200km away in the US state of Washington, said tremors were also felt there, but there were no reports of damage.[/release]
I felt this today while at Subway. My icetea fell onto the floor unfortunately, it was pretty intensive up in Nanaimo which is basically central Vancouver island, which isnt that far from the center of the quake.

I'm about 150 miles south of Seattle in the other Couve, I didn't feel shit, but I was sweaty, with fogged up safety glasses and earplugs in at the time of the quake.
Fuck it, bring on the late ratings.

Guess you should say the Earth is shaking up a little.
The earthquake picture is a circle, the shape of a clock.
3.2 hour late thread hits SH
stop bumping the late thread, oh wait my bad.
this was so subtle in Comox that I thought I was off balance because of an injury to the head or something. :v:
