Photo of old paper seismogram showing ground shaking from the M6.8 Nisqually earthquake as recorded near Victoria, BC (150 km away).
Map showing how people across greater Victoria felt shaking from the 2001 M6.8 Nisqually earthquake (150 km away). Colour coding is used to distinguish between weak shaking and moderate-strong shaking.
The 2001 M6.8 Nisqually #earthquake was felt by most people in southern British Columbia, and was well-recorded (even on old paper drum recorders). Damage in #Victoria included broken windows, broken pipes, and items knocked off shelves.

How about we instead set our clocks 4 years ahead tomorrow night and wake up to a Bright and Sunny January 1st, 2028.
Jeesh!!!!!

Most of these will be pissed at Trump and will caucus with the Dems. As will the 2 Senators each from Canada, Greenland and Panama.
Maths are hard
Good idea! Thanks!

On TikTok all this talk about the walking pneumonia going around. Around the corner is H5N1 and its now starting to mutate. And Trump will handle it just like Covid. Mask up everyone esp. after the Holidays
