Wild ride here in maple ridge was standing on a concrete slab and it stayed back and forth for like 3 seconds and sounded like freight train

Rumble then the shake in Nanoose Bay. No mistaking it.

It hit the West Side of Vancouver. We felt two jolts a second apart. Very eerie feeling.

Ya definitely a good rumble and shaking in Nanaimo. Computer screens in the office were going crazy with the shakes for about 3-5 seconds only

Just past roberts creek. Stupid kids. Biggest pain is they decided to smash the model cutty sark my grandfather hand tied like 60 years ago. The rest is just smashed junk.

I’m really sorry to hear this. It’s a fear we have at our our family cabin a little further up the coast on South Thormanby. We all agree not to leave anything of “value” lying around that might attract thieves, but most of the real value is in the memories, the trinkets and things hanging on the wall.

I hope today is a better one than yesterday.

We are so fortunate to have a caretaker. I can't recall any break-ins up there whereas nearby solo cabins have it happen every few years.
