Anxiously awaiting word that Vancouver fell into the ocean...

Just kidding, hope everyone is safe out there.

Hope things don't get crazy over there.

119 km (73 miles) WNW of Ucluelet, British Columbia, Canada
40 km (86 miles) SSE of Port Hardy, British Columbia, Canada

Depth: 25.9 km (16.1 miles)


The location + depth likely resulted in this not having a huge impact on anything (any major residential areas) on land.

I work in the corner of a warehouse, and I definitely felt it. The warehouse racking next to my desk started swaying and creaking, and honestly I thought some fatty was climbing on it.

Then the phone rang and I was distracted by work. Later on the boss called me from Toronto and said "Did you feel it?", and THEN I clued into the fact it was an earthquake.

My friend who works downtown posted on her facebook that she definitely felt it. She works on the 29th floor, so that might explain it.

I've been enjoying the sun at home today and felt nothing in East Van.
