Is a major seismic event about to happen on Canada’s western coastline?
Over the past 48 hours, Vancouver Island has been struck by “hundreds” of small earthquakes…
Hundreds of tiny tremors, felt only by sensitive monitors, have shivered under southern Vancouver Island in the last 48 hours, leading one scientist to predict they may signal what he calls a “tectonic dance.”
John Cassidy, an earthquake seismologist with Natural Resources Canada, says the shaking has most of the hallmarks of a so-called episodic tremor and slip, a process that occurs along the fault lines at the edges of tectonic plates.
Perhaps this will turn out to be nothing, but considering what we just witnessed in Hawaii and Guatemala, I would definitely say that there is reason to be concerned…
