I was in Metrotown Superstore when I got texts from my kids. Didn't feel a thing............. Two separate ones? That's not a good sign. Need one more for the trifecta..........

The question is how many Vancouverites are prepared? Or are we all relying on the gov't to send us aid... lol.

I was at home on the couch and it was decently strong - a very deep rumble from deep in the ground kind of thing - stronger than any truck driving by and enough for me to get to my feet to see if anything was happening to the other houses.

Good opportunity to check stock and rotate old canned food. Costco's website has the Ecoflow battery generator with solar panel.
Felt like a truck passing by my window or a very strong wind. Flip coworker was like "meh, just an earthquake. Felt like a 5."

We asian, we have enough rice to last for months. Plus we have a gas range so food is the least of our worries. If we were to have a big one now, heating is probably the bigger concern.

In office day for me today, got some shaking and swaying on the 4th floor of our building. Thought it was the dude in the cubicle across from me "shaking leg." Our floors are hollow for cabling, so you can feel that a couple workstations over.

I need more water though - I have maybe 10L lying around. My studio has a 40 gallon hot water tank that I could probably repurpose but that's it.

I have my BBQ with a full tank? 
Between the random bottled drinks and bottled water we have about 25 litres

It really makes me wonder how newer generation of kids will survive without internet if the big one hits.

uh, not really getting you. If a big earthquake hits, you'd be up the creek as well because most likely, our electrical grid would go down and if you were at work, separated from your family (say), you wouldn't be able to call them with towers down, servers down. With no power, you couldn't even pump gas (unless they have backup power) but then, the credit card gadget would prob be down. Traffic lights down ... and if it happened at night, city would go dark. It'd be pretty serious.
what would kids on internet have anything to do with this? I would think anyone would have enough safety things to be concerned about.

I wonder how earthquake proof our buildings truly are. I don’t see why builders would be ethical and build up to standard if the big one hits like 100 years from now.

I also wonder how earthquake proof our road infrastructure is in the Lower Mainland.
We have many bridges on our roadways. I drive to downtown Vancouver for work three times a week. -gotta drive on the Dunsmuir and Georgia viaducts.
The worst case scenario, knock on wood that it doesn't happen, is for someone to be driving on those viaducts or any bridge when a big earthquake hits the Lower Mainland.
Knight street bridge, Oak Street Bridge, Iron Workers Memorial bridge, Lions Gate, Burrard, Cambie, Granville, Port Mann, Alex Fraser etc.
I mean, I see homeless people camp out between the viaducts for shelter. Those viaducts are useful in that sense. Earthquakes are a completely different scenario for those structures.

I guess if homes are built today, they have to be earthquake proof to 2025 standards. But yah, in 100 yrs time, who knows what the standards are ... and it's not as if you and I will be around.
Yah, if you're on the road and it's the big one ... just hope you kissed and hugged your wife & kids on the way out. The thought of you (at work or going to work) making it (alive) and separated from family and not being able to reach them is the high anxiety part for me.

If the big one hits, its going to be 9.0+ probably. And 9.0 shaking for "X" amount of minutes. YVR will probably be useless. Only airport will be Abby. Bridges down means no aid for awhile.
