DefCon1 Posted January 23, 2018 Author Share Posted January 23, 2018 The Islands are screwed but Vancouver is pretty safe. It was an 8.1 magnitude earthquake which is pretty big. Hopefully it doesn't trigger the big one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but the Big One's epicentre will be close to Vancouver Island and there is no comparison between a low 8 and a 9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nuckin_futz Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Well Victoria will be safe from a tsunami coming from there. Worst case scenario could be flooding in low lying areas. Unless I have miscalculated. In that case it's been nice knowing you all and Go Canucks Go. If anyone is up for some lite reading this is a fascinating article on what's coming one day. Annals of Seismology July 20, 2015 Issue The Really Big One An earthquake will destroy a sizable portion of the coastal Northwest. The question is when. https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2015/07/20/the-really-big-one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nuxfanabroad Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 The big one will hit when we're winning a gm7 finals, by a large margin. Worried about some of these BC, Alaska inlets. Topography leads to funneling some nasty-high tsunamis. GL to everyone back home! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
