Map showing the locationn of the 1949 M8.1 Haida Gwaii earthquake. Colours indicate the felt shaking and the strength of shaking. Shaking was so strong on parts of Haida Gwaii that it twas difficult to stand.
August 21, 1949 - a damaging M8.1 #earthquake (one of the largest ever recorded in North America) struck off #HaidaGwaii. Shaking was so strong that it was hard to stand. Felt across most of #BritishColumbia, parts of Alberta, WA, Yukon and Alaska www.earthquakescanada.nrcan.gc.ca/historic-his... ⚒️🧪

Another active fault on Vancouver Island - our new paper documents evidence for at least 3 Holocene earthquakes on the Beaufort Range fault
