From the CBC news this morning, the quake was off shore, near the Queen Charlotte Islands. (They have a new politically correct name now, but I can't spell it.) Those are well off the coast, up near the Alaska pan handle. Some minor damage on the Charlottes, including power outages, but no major injuries reported yet. The tsunami warning has been down graded, but not cancelled. Some parts of the Charlottes and the west coast of the mainland reported 69 cm waves (just over 2 feet.) Could still be several hours before any waves reach Alaska, Hawaii or the lower continental mainland. ID: 1299754 ·

Now should that happen in Ca, that would be a differnt story. Worry about Rose and Steve instead or Blurf, James, Blade and others. Pluto will always be a planet to me.

But there is probably a tsunami potential to watch for. I guess not: THE TSUNAMI ADVISORY IS ENDED FOR THE STATE OF HAWAII EFFECTIVE AT 0358 AM HST. ID: 1300074 ·

They issued a tsunami warning for the island my mum and aunt live on. I phoned her to see if she was up a tree somewhere. Reality Internet Personality ID: 1300113 ·

I have cousins that live in Vancover and Seattle. The cascadia fault has got to go some time just like it did in 1700, before the arrival of the white man. ID: 1300200 ·

Just what I was thinking of Es. But also this New York storm is very worrying .... Yes I do fret about friends Uli, I'm a Father Goose to your Mother Hen! (Cary Grant was better looking!) My sister, brother in law and niece are right in the path. The latest update I got was the power is out in their street. I think they have a generator so they still have power. My brother in law is in charge of safety on the Washington Metro. He's apparently at work on standby. :( Reality Internet Personality ID: 1300414 ·
