Earthquake this Morning?
 
Quote:
Moderate earthquake shakes Vancouver Island

Updated: Fri Jan. 30 2009 13:28:50

ctvbc.ca

Some Victoria-area residents were given an early morning jolt out of bed as a moderate earthquake hit the area.

The 4.6 magnitude quake, which hit at about 5:25 a.m. Friday, was centred 25 kilometers northwest of Seattle.

Victoria is just across Juan de Fuca Strait from the epicenter which was close to Washington State's Olympic Peninsula.

Residents of Victoria report feeling the quake in their homes.

There are no reports of damage in Washington State or on Vancouver Island.

Thats what they said like more than 5 years ago. That the big one is coming, who knows, maybe its just building up. :(

well don't they say the more smaller ones we have the better it is or some shit

johny 01-30-2009 06:56 PM
my co worker felt it in richmond, he was awake and standing though. I doubt it would have woken anyone up.

from what i learned in geography, this is true, the small earthquakes release the pressure in the plates thus reducing the chances of one big earthquake

That begs the question...were you pre-occupied with something? Perhaps..masturbating? Perhaps, masturbating hard enough that your shakes and squirms over powered those of the subtle earthquake?

Just some food for thought.

twitchyzero 01-30-2009 08:32 PM
^ those are some probing questions.

bcrdukes 01-30-2009 08:37 PM
Is it just me or are some of you fucking illiterate? Read the article again and it will clearly state that it happened 25KMs northwest of Seattle meaning people who live in Victoria were able to feel the shake.

For fuck sakes.

I swear to god I felt it this morning... mind you I was still half asleep debating hitting the snooze button again... but I swear I felt it. I even convinced myself it was nothing, and I must be dreaming or whatever. Until I heard about it on the radio on my way into work.

Man, if I was able to feel that wussy quake in my appt... I'm so done if the big one hits and I'm home!

sebberry 01-30-2009 10:15 PM
