To: U.S. West Coast, Alaska, and British Columbia coastal regions
From: NOAA/NWS/West Coast and Alaska Tsunami Warning Center
Subject: Tsunami Information Statement #1 issued 09/9/2011 at 12:43PM PDT

A strong earthquake has occurred, but a tsunami IS NOT expected along the California, Oregon, Washington, British Columbia, or Alaska coast. NO tsunami warning, watch or advisory is in effect for these areas.

Based on the earthquake magnitude, location and historic tsunami records, a damaging tsunami IS NOT expected along the California, Oregon, Washington, British Columbia, and Alaska coasts. Some of these areas may experience non-damaging sea level changes. At coastal locations which have experienced strong ground shaking, local tsunamis are possible due to underwater landslides.

At 12:42 PM Pacific Daylight Time on September 9, an earthquake with preliminary magnitude 6.7 occurred 50 miles/80 Km south of Port Alice, British Columbia . (Refer to the United States Geological Survey for official earthquake parameters.)

Pacific coastal regions outside California, Oregon, Washington, British Columbia, and Alaska should refer to the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center messages for information on the event.

This will be the only statement issued for this event by the West Coast/Alaska Tsunami Warning Center unless conditions warrant. See the WCATWC web site for basic tsunami information, safety rules, and a tsunami travel time map and table. (NOTE: Travel time maps and tables indicate forecasted times only, not that a wave was generated.)

I felt that one. I'm in downtown Vancouver and all I could feel was a slight swaying of the building I'm in.

No damage, and 95% of the people around didn't feel squat.

Question for the forum members with more earthquake knowledge than myself:

The wife is planning on heading down to Vancouver for the weekend in a couple hours. How much does this event increase the odds of a much bigger one hitting in the next few days? Is a 6.7 magnitude too large to be a "pre-shock" to something bigger? Any reason to worry?
If something causing serious damage hit the area I'd feel safer having her up in whis than in the city.

thanks

Just tell your wife to stay out of Richmond as that entire "city" is build on sediment from the Fraser River and will be underwater pretty quickly in the event of a big one as much of Richmond is protected by dikes that may not hold as I understand an earthquake could/would settle the land and cause it to go underwater...

Also, I've felt a couple of earthquakes here in my years and nothing ever comes of them (until one day there is a big one...).

I'd not worry about it.

Sounds good, she'll be downtown. I assume all the towers are built with EQ's in mind.

Thanks bh

Wife didn't feel anything in Kirkland either. Seemed localized by the shake map from USGS.

The odds went from infinitesimal to miniscule.

....although the Cascadia subduction zone has a history of snapping with almost zero warning compared to other faults of its type.

No. 8s can be foreshocks to 9s.
