Realtor Rod Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 As long as an earthquake doesn't hit the Yellowstone Nat'l Park area, we should be fine. Do you live near there? If our plates slip, and we have a 9, we will not be okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thejazz97 Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Do you live near there? If our plates slip, and we have a 9, we will not be okay. SK. But the super volcano is there, if an earthquake happens there the whole earth is pretty much screwed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comets4CalderCup Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Damn, hope everyone is okay in Nepal I wonder why these big Earthquakes don't happen often in North America. Like Ik in Cali there is a lot but other than that we don't really get huge EQs. Anyway hopefully BC doesn't get one soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Vintage Canuck- Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 (edited) For the folks that live in Abbotsford, did you feel the ground shaking? There was a small earthquake there, like 15 minutes ago. Edited July 5, 2015 by -Vintage Canuck- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Time Lord Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 For the folks that live in Abbotsford, did you feel the ground shaking? There was a small earthquake there, like 15 minutes ago. Yes. I've actually never knowingly felt an earthquake before, so it was weird. I thought an object had fallen in my house, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox Mulder Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 I was literally driving through or right close to the epicenter as it happened. I felt nothing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaBamba Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 http://globalnews.ca/news/2057105/how-fracking-is-linked-to-fox-creek-earthquakes/ This earthquake was directly linked to fracking conducted by a company I currently work for in the region. The time of the earthquake perfectly coincided with the time of fracture. There isn't much the AER can do at this point but I know it has caused quite the concern within the company.

Talked to a couple of my friends out in Abby, they said they felt it... Isn't that a good thing though, minor earthquake relieves pressure?

-Vintage Canuck- Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 Chile earthquake: 8.3-magnitude quake strikes off coast : (CNN)A powerful 8.3-magnitude earthquake struck off Chile's coast on Wednesday, according to a preliminary assessment from the U.S. Geological Survey. The quake's epicenter was about 55 kilometers (34 miles) west of Illapel, Chile, USGS said. It occurred around 7:54 p.m. (6:45 p.m. ET) and had a depth of 33 kilometers (20.5 miles). Chile's national emergency agency issued a tsunami warning, ordering evacuations in some coastal areas. There were reports of damages to homes in Illapel, Interior Minister Jorge Burgos told reporters. "Widespread hazardous tsunami waves are possible" along the coast of Chile and Peru, the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said, and a tsunami watch is in effect for Hawaii. A strong aftershock could be felt in the country's capital, CNN sister network CNN Chile reported. Chile is in one of the most earthquake-prone regions in the world. The country sits on an arc of volcanoes and fault lines circling the Pacific Ocean known as the "Ring of Fire." The area experiences frequent earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. Since 1973, Chile has had more than a dozen quakes of magnitude-7.0 and above. http://www.cnn.com/2015/09/16/americas/chile-earthquake/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
