I'm in Victoria and woke up in the hotel during the earthquake. I really felt it and my heart was just racing.

I felt like this morning's quake was shorter in duration and not as strong as the last. I wonder where the epicenter for it was this time around. Maybe the island took the brunt of it?

So the distance is further away from Vancouver than the last one at Squamish. The magnitude is also weaker, plus there is a large enough body of water between the epicenter and Vancouver. All of those factors would have attenuated the strength of the shock by the time the shaking reaches us?

Maybe if it is a 7-8 or something, Vancouver properties might be able to stand while homes in Richmond bog might be under water?
It's the frequency that I'm starting to wonder about. There was a small one near here in between the one at Sechet and today's.

A quick cursory search shows East Richmond on the peat bogs to be at lower risk, where the main risks are the busiest commercial part of No3 road https://metrovanmicromap.ca/wp-conte..._17th-WCEE.pdf
I would curious what has been done to the towers in Richmond to mitigate the risk. I assume they've gone straight down into the bedrock for the foundation.

You can take the chinamen out of Richmond but you can’t take the Richmond out of the chinamen….. 
I’ll die in Richmond with food in my mouth okay !!! Fuck your lame ass 4000sqft lots in Vancouver. That shit is gay.
Plus half you Vancouver fucks are here eating in Richmond on the weekends anyways. So likely when the big one hits you’ll die in Kirin or Sun sui wah or chef Tony.

Newer single family detached homes in richmond wont be so bad in an earthquake, the code is that they have to be 300mm above water level now.

Richmond condos are built on a slab that's hollow. Kinda like a boat, really trippy going in them.

I was actually looking at assembling my own. I'm sure some are commercially available but likely at a premium compared to just buying them separately?
edit: found this https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/s...rab-and-go-bag
good info, time to get on it boys

This is a rite of passage for any 40+ year old... start searching online for disaster gear and prepping.
