So who felt the earthquake?

Never felt it but heard all about it ...news crews find the most interesting people to interview

It was really strong in Maple Ridge. Jolted me out of bed. Pictures on the wall were banging, dogs barking, kids yelling. Was quite an event where I live. I hear everyone in the lower mainland felt it differently depending on what type of structure you were in and what kind of land you are on.

My first thought was "oh god, my tank" as I was sitting in bed wondering if it was going to ramp up or fade away...lol

Then the safety of my kids. That was a close second........well second anyway...

We were up watching TV here in Surrey
I thought some car ran into my house. Outside chimes were sounding, bells fell off the Christmas tree and an ornament fell off the wall.
Ran outside at the same time as my neighbour who thought someone had run into his house.
Tank is ok and no real damage to house I can see

Felt a brief quiver here, thought it was hubby moving around on the couch too much while we were watching TV lol. My cockatoo was not impressed, guess it woke him up, took awhile to calm him down.

In case of a massive earthquake (ie. 8.0+ Richter scale), Richmond and all those other delta "lands" will disappear when the silt those buildings and infrastructure are built on will LIQUEFY (Google "Liquefaction) when the ground shakes and everything falls down and sinks. Better to buy on more solid ground. It's one reason I advised my parents against buying in Richmond and so we've always lived in Vancouver/Burnaby. Near Marine Drive and the Fraser River is still vulnerable but higher up the hill is considered to be at lower risk to liquefaction. In a major earthquake we would still be in danger, but hopefully our location mitigates some of that risk.

As long as you didn't push her aside when you did it, she'll eventually forgive you (I think).
