I slept like a baby through it. I did feel the first one, but that was during the day while at work.

I slept through this one in Vancouver. I mostly just heard the last one. Didn’t even know there’d been an earthquake til someone texted me 🤷

That’s one hell of an earthquake if it was felt backwards through time!

Scientists have been warning for years that BC/Washington are due for a massive earthquake.

There has been a lot of discourse as to whether it would happen at all due to the periodic “seasons” of small earthquakes the region gets. The idea being that maybe the pressure will be released slowly over time.

The recent quakes that were noticed do stick out of the curve a bit, but they are still very weak ones and are consistent with a gradual release.

It is worth noting that there have been 25 detected quakes in the region in the last 2 weeks.
