Seismologists Say Vancouver Island Is Overdue For the Big One After Series of 5 Earthquakes Including Two M6.0 Hit Cascadia Upper End

Yesterday, five earthquakes, including two M6.0 jolts, struck off Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada.

Now seismologists say Vancouver Island is overdue for a M7.0 earthquake and has entered a period of time where an additional M9.0 mega-thrust rupture earthquake, likely to cause a tsunami, can be expected.

While the region northwest of Vancouver Island’s northern end experiences frequent seismic activity, it has been particularly active yesterday, Dec. 23rd.

A series of five offshore earthquakes took place yesterday morning, ranging from 4.7 – and increasing in intensity to two 6.0-magnitude quakes.
•   M5.2 – 166km W of Port Hardy, Canada
•   M5.7 – 170km W of Port Hardy, Canada
•   M6.0 – 176km W of Port Hardy, Canada
•   M6.0 – 163km W of Port Hardy, Canada
•   M4.7 – 160km W of Port Hardy, Canada

Meanwhile, a sixth earthquake, a M4.3, has hit the offshore region north of Vancouver on December 23, on Haida Gwaii at 9:32 p.m. at a depth of eight kilometres (five miles).

But something even more terrifying is lurking… Seismologists say we have entered the timeframe to expect a magnitude 9 mega-thrust rupture earthquake too.
