Neversummer Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 That was a wake up call. Hopefully it scared the Chinese investors and housing prices drop. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was over like that tho. 5 seconds max. TBH an earthquake didn't even come to mind because they are rare. Thankfully our neighbour came outside in less then 15 seconds yelling to us it was an earthquake. An earthquake didn't come to mind because they are rare but a bomb did? Cause they are more common? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steviewonder20 Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 We live 19 km from the epicentre on Vancouver Island. House shook for almost 10 seconds as we are not on bedrock. Time to re-stock the earthquake kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know they say to hop under a table, but in my house I can get outside faster than I can get under a table. Also, if it's the Big One I don't want to be in my house for many minutes. My house shakes with strong wind. I don't want to know what will happen to it when the Big One shows up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Fig Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 It felt a like a regulation shaker. The Nisqually quake from 2001 was the one that really felt like there was something serious going on. That one felt like King Kong had grabbed the bottom corner of the building and was trying to lift it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rush17 Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 (edited) I was playing some 007 on the N64 with some friends on the island. Only really felt the couch roll and wave side to side. I think as I noticed it.. it only lasted for what felt like 3-4 seconds. Heard it was more at my place though stuff was falling off our bed side table. My partner told me that the entire house shifted side to side. Apparently the focus was close by. CBC says people in north east part of victoria felt homes shifting and ppl were falling off their feet. I live kinda central Victoria.

Short answer: relative to other parts of the country, yes. Long answer: the Pacific Northwest region is vulnerable to earthquakes because the Juan De Fuca plate is being subducted under the North American plate just off the coast: Earthquakes with similar magnitude to the Indian Ocean earthquake can happen here, so keep that in mind if you want to move.
