From the posts different experiences dependent on where the poster was.

That was quite a kick in the report.

Looks like it was to far from any major population centers. Another bullet dodged.

I was out shopping and didn't even know there had been one until my mum texted me to say the whole house had been shaking. She was quite freaked out.

I called my partner to ask him if he had felt it and he didn't know what I was talking about. He was downtown in Vancouver. He called me back about half an hour later and said that the lawyer firm he'd gone to pick up documents from was closed because it was on the 29th floor and the building had been swaying making everyone sick.

I've been trying to figure out where I was when it hit and I'm pretty sure I was in the handbag section of The Bay, which explains why I didn't notice anything.

Didn't feel a thing at my house but some people I know who work in office towers downtown said they could feel the building swaying.

The bad news is that the Pacific North-West is way overdue for an 8 or 9 shaker. :|

As was said earlier ...

We are glad that none of you had any problems, except to hear Hev was freaked. If that was the wordt experience of this shaker then ATM it went OK.

The Pacific Northwest is a region in northwestern North America, bounded by the Pacific Ocean to the west and, loosely, by the Rocky Mountains on the east. Definitions of the region vary and there is no commonly agreed upon boundary, even among Pacific Northwesterners. A common concept of the Pacific Northwest includes the U.S. states of Oregon and Washington, and the Canadian province of British Columbia.

The region's largest metropolitan areas are Seattle/Tacoma, Washington, with 3.3 million people; Vancouver, British Columbia, with 2.3 million people; and the Portland metropolitan area, with 2.2 million people.

And in between the Ocean and the Rockies, is the volatile Cascade Range, One of which blew up and rebuilt itself a bit, Mt St Helens...

Yes, it was scary. The whole house shook and stuff was rattling around. No damage though. I think I need earthquake training..

Yes the first one is always the worst. Glad you are doing ok Hev.

We can see Mount Baker from out window, it's the same classification as Mt St Helens was about a year before it blew.

We have some cones here in Yermo and there's Elephant Mountain, all are volcanic and all are I think extinct. Oh and if You ever visit Tokyo Japan, Mt Fuji is a similar volcano to Mt St Helens and was a virtual twin, can You say powder keg waiting to go BOOM?

Los Angeles has only Mt Baldy and as far as I can tell, It has sensors all over It from what I read once.

Oh and Yes I'm glad that the people in Vancouver are alright.

Posted some info in the Science (Non-Seti) board.

I sure hope Jellystone (Whoops, Yellowstone.) doesn’t go off soon.
