Earthquake hits Queen Charlottes

[Bsuds]

I think we just had an Earthquake. We have several hanging lights and they were swinging away. Didn't feel anything but stuff certainly moved.
Anyone else notice anything?

Nothing up here in Glenrosa.

I'm in a downtown highrise and the place was swaying for a couple of minutes.

Things on my walls were swaying for a good number of minutes, apparently there was 7.7 in Prince George!

U.S.G.S. reports 7.7 off haida Gwai on BC Coast. 198 km SW of prince Rupert. A Good size earthquake , but at a depth of 10 km

Two large quakes off the BC Coast, close to the Queen Charlottes...tsunami warning for Prince Rupert and that area. Was felt as far inland as Terrace (two hours from the coast).

Oh .. that explain why my vertical blinds swayed a little.

Hopefully it's a "P" wave quake than there is no tsunami, unfortunately still a great deal of damage.

Just was hit with a 4.8, since the size of first their will be number of after shocks.
