A 6.7 magnitude earthquake struck near Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Friday afternoon, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.
The epicenter was about 175 miles west of the city of Vancouver and nearly 50 miles underground.
There was no immediate danger of a tsunami, authorities said.
FULL STORY
The ring of fire is alive.....we're not talking Johnny Cash here
I live in Seattle. That's strange, 6.4 (not 6.7 as being reported) is pretty strong and it wasn't all that deep. I'm surprised it wasn't more widely felt. It must be one of things where the composition of the ground and other factors negated the strength of the quake. Take for example a 6,4 quake in the LA basin at 14 miles deep would have shook the heck out them and would have been felt over a wide area.
It's really worrisome at d rate natural disasters occur this days. These are truely d signs of d the end. Men aught 2 watch and pray.
The Bible tells us that there will be wars, rumors or wars, and earthquakes in "diverse places" (areas that have not seen them before). "LOOK UP FOR YOUR REDEMPTION DRAWETH NIGH". The Lord is returning soon and we need to get our houses in order and make sure that our families have given their hearts to Christ.
I'll watch TV. You can do the praying.
These are signs of the times. I recommend you take a look at http://www.jenalves.com under WARNINGS and you'll see more of what is predicted to come ahead. Check it out and see for yourself.
Can you spell "the"?
It's called "science". You should read about it sometime.
There are no End Times....unless you count the enormous amount of damage man himself is doing to this planet.
Oh please, what's wrong with you? These are nothing more than natural occurences and will happen all the time. Educate yourself and do yourself a favor. The Earth is a dynamic system not subject to your idiotic beliefs it does what it does because the Earth is still cooling down from it's creation (No pun intended).
Yes and I'm coming for all you Christians who think you special and above other people because your pray....
Yeah I'm coming for u 1st....
You may want to pay particular attention to the drought message posted on February 18, 2011 under WARNINGS. Scroll to bottom, right; click on archives on http://www.jenalves.com. This has to be about Texas!
There are and have been many earthquakes every day since the dawn of time ! We are just more aware of them today thanks to media ! Look up usgs.gov .
2000 years ago people did not understand what an earthquake was ! We live on a living planet and we are but mammals ! Scared easily ones at that !
GFY
There is no change in the frequency over time, the change is in the speed at which news now travels around the world.
hey Pam.. stuff it. Tired of your kind shoving your crap in everyone's faces. Keep your bible and religion out of our lives , our laws, our faces. Ignorant asshat.
Oh so are you guys saying that these places that are having the quakes have always had them and have them all of the time?
That's good info thanks for that. I mean I didn't know that Virginia and Vancouver has quakes all of the time.
Or did you guys just miss the part "earthquakes in "diverse places" (areas that have not seen them before)"?
don't blame Canada. it's not our "fault" lol
lay off the whole religion thing, please. it is rather tiresome and irrelevant.
everettreb: I'm just guessing that your name indicates you're from Everett, Washington (just north of Seattle). If that's the case, then you know better. Vancouver may not be listed as an epicenter often, but neither is any other place. They happen all along the fault lines. And you should know that we have and have had earthquakes here going waaaaay back. This is a rockin' area. So your post is pretty strange. If you are NOT from here, then just know that you are wrong. This is Quake Central. Always has been.
It's really worrisome at d rate natural disasters occur this days. Our scientists do not even answrs 4 them.These are truely d signs of d the end. Men aught 2 watch and pray.
Earthquakes have happened since the beginning of time. Because there are plates that are moving in the ocean, everyone EXPECTED an earthquake here. Go back to your bible.
Look up usgs.gov and every day there is an earthquake somewhere ! Always has been , always will be !
mmm... I didn't feel anything... opps that wine... :))
I can recall a few "wild" Richter wreckers in my time.
Realistically your all very funny, however, Vancouver and Vancouver island are hovering right over a serious fault line and at some point may experience a tremor that will definately overshadow San Fransisco and Tokyo combined. The fault line in that area could end up doing double damage as it could pull down a good chunk of the island sending tsunamies all over the place. The spendid nature of that area is unsurpassed in the world, it is beautiful, and if I know anything from my time on this earth. When something becomes conciously beautiful in our crazy human minds, it ends up getting destroyed. Watch out Vancouverites, all two million of you, your in for a shock soon. That is why I left my beautiful home, that is why I retreated into the ugly, desolate plains of Saskatchewan.
"plains of Saskatchewan" ? You don't speak like a Canadian...
Wish I knew how to spell while being drunk
no 'biggie'
Go to usgs.gov and you will see there are earthquakes every day ! You can even get an app for them on your i phone !
5.9 Virginia Quake, Near New york..Breaking news for 2 days.
6.7 ..Quake ,nothing but a side note.
OMG THE END OF THE WORLD IS NEAR AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111
@aNN:
Just speculation on my part, but it may have been such big news because it was felt from all the way down in Georgia to all the way up to Canada.
So most on here would like to disagree, creation v. science. Ok, but can we not be respectful of one another?
no one knows the day and the hour but it`s time to repent through the grace of the almighty one loks like something is coming up to mesoamerica never ever seen before in all the time
It was Perry's fault.
