Do you want to learn about the impacts of the M9 Cascadia subduction #earthquake that struck at 9 p.m. on this night, 325 years ago? Strong shaking, a tsunami and landslides as described in Indigenous oral traditions from #VancouverIsland to #California.

Mega-quakes have periodically rocked North America’s Pacific Northwest. Indigenous people told terrifying stories about the devastation but refused to leave.

Today’s little earthquake in the PNW reminded me how thankful I am to be so close to Canada. While the US is gutting our scientific agencies, at least scientists in BC are still aggressively tracking warning signs related to the expected CSZ Megaquake/Tsunami that will devastate the west coast.
Natural Resources Canada Episodic Tremor and Slip Introduction Episodic Tremor and Slip (ETS) is a process that occurs deep below the Earth's surface along faults that form the boundaries of tectonic plates. It involves repeated episodes of slow fault slip of a few centimetres over a period of several weeks, accompanied by seismic tremors. Tremors appear on seismic records as prolonged, intermittent ground vibrations, similar to those caused by windstorms. They differ from earthquakes which generate large, sharp, shock waves that subside very quickly. The Cascadia Subduction Zone In 2003, Natural Resources Canada scientists discovered the link between slow fault slip and seismic tremors while studying the Cascadia Subduction Zone (CSZ), Canada's most active earthquake region. Running from northern Vancouver Island to northern California, the CSZ is the boundary between the Juan de Fuca and North American plates. Offshore, beneath the Pacific Ocean, the Juan de Fuca Plate is being forced under, or subducted beneath, the western edge of the North American Plate. The zone of contact between the two plates is called a subduction fault. This map shows the boundary between the Juan de Fuca Plate system and the North American Plate which forms the Cascadia Subduction Zone (CSZ). The CSZ stretches from northern Vancouver Island to northern California and from the offshore Cascadia Trench to the inland Cascade Volcanic Belt. The large arrows show the direction of motion of the oceanic plates with respect to North America. The smaller arrows show relative motion across other plate boundaries. The line with the triangular teeth indicates the Cascadia Trench where the oceanic Juan de Fuca Plate begins its descent beneath the North American Plate. Line A-A'| marks the location of the crustal cross-section shown on pg 2. Setting up a GPS antenna on Vancouver Island. This region requires more monitoring bc it is close to the epicentre of the 1946 7.3 Vancouver Island quake.
