hmmm- sure are a lot of stories popping up That 6.6-magnitude earthquake did nothing to diminish the chances of the 'Big One' hitting B.C.: Seismologist VICTORIA — The magnitude-6.6 earthquake that struck off the west coast of Vancouver Island on Wednesday night did nothing to release pressure off the Big One, according to seismologist John Cassidy. “It was on a different fault,” said Cassidy, who works with Earthquakes Canada. The quake — which the U.S. Geographical Survey initially said measured 6.7 — did not release any energy being stored in the Cascadia subduction zone, from California to the west coast of Vancouver Island, Cassidy said. “It’s completely locked,” he said. That means pressure for the Big One — a magnitude-9.0 megathrust earthquake — is building. Cassidy said there’s about a 30-per-cent chance it could happen in the next 50 years. [ link to www.theprovince.com] On the bright side, that means 70% chance of no quake. Chance) I don't like the sudden lull in activity off of the PNW. It's like the quiet before the plunge...much like Japan's couple of days before their big one. I look at things weekly, monthly, yearly activity is relative to a few days, not daily. On the whole there is an uptick, the greater pressure venting through the crust & effecting the plates.. If the plates are "binding" there should be an "adjustment" in larger 5+ in the next few days or so as the plates readjust. Or resettle if iits calm for a week relative to a monthly pattern that might be of concern. Yet the big one can strike at any time as we know little about this science more or less as the details of the interconnectivity of the universe. At the end of the day there are many theories out but few of then are making sense especially in this time of many anomalies.
