I experienced my first magnitude 7.0-7.5 earthquake when I was almost 23 months old. It almost knocked me to the ground. That 1946 Vancouver Island earthquake struck Vancouver Island on June 23 at 10:15 a.m.[1] with a magnitude estimated at 7.0 Ms[2] and 7.5 Mw.[6] The main shock epicenter occurred in the Forbidden Plateau area northwest of Courtenay. While most of the large earthquakes in the Vancouver area occur at tectonic plate boundaries, the 1946 Vancouver Island earthquake was a crustal event. Shaking was felt from Portland, Oregon, to Prince Rupert, British Columbia. This is one of the most damaging earthquakes in the history of British Columbia, but damage was restricted because there were no heavily populated areas near the epicentre, where severe shaking occurred. There were, however, a whole series of landslides in the Forbidden Plateau area there were a whole series of landslides blocked streams and rivers to create lakes. The first hikers into the area gave them great names, Landslide Lake, Rock Fall Lake, Earthquake Lake etc.; over time these natural dams were eroded to nothing, leaving nothing but fading memories of those lakes. This earthquake is Canada's largest historic onshore earthquake.[1] Three years later, an earthquake, an M8.1, struck at 8:01 p.m. PDT on August 2, 1949 in Haida Gwaii [formerly Queen Charlotte Islands], an interplate earthquake that occurred on the ocean bottom just off the west coast of the main south island [Graham Island]. The shock had a surface wave magnitude of 8.1 and a maximum Mercalli Intensity of VIII (Severe).

I write about it all over the place. On my personal blog KULSHAN - Lead Author: Stan G. Webb - In Retirement © ®™ [https://stangwebb.blogspot.com/] and, everywhere.

I have personally been through five memorable earthquakes in my past almost 80 years. The first, a M7.3 in 1946 killed two people in Courtney, BC when I was 22 months old almost knocked me to the ground.. That shook me to the bottom of my soul. My second was a M8.1 in Haida Gwaii in 1949. In Haida Gwaii everyone ~ people, cats and rats and cows were knocked to the ground, right now. There was no 'duck, cover and hold.'


Wikipedia: List of earthquakes in Canada


A profile of earthquake risk for the District of North Vancouver, British Columbia; Journeay, J M; Dercole, F; Mason, D; Westin, M; Prieto, J A; Wagner, C L; Hastings, N L; Chang, S E; Lotze, A; Ventura, C E. Geological Survey of Canada, Open File 7677, 2015, 224 pages, https://doi.org/10.4095/296256 Open Access

Download the publication (pdf 130711 KB)

Summary: 839 buildings in The District of North Vancouver will partially or completely collapse. There is a 30% probability that a magnitude M7.3 earthquake in the Salish Sea, say midway between The District of North Vancouver, Nanaimo and Victoria in the next 50 years will cause the partial or complete collapse of 839 buildings. That does not count the Tsleil-Waututh First Nation, The City of North Vancouver, the Squamish First Nation, t 227 pages of political bafflegab and pettifoggery If you download and print out the .pdf with all of its pretty colourful maps it will cost you about $96.00 in ink toner. But without 227 pages of political bafflegab and pettifoggery about $96.00 in toner ink just the same.


For: With great honour and respect; I first met Geswanouth Slahoot / Chief Dan George at the Williams Lake Stampede. I was 12. I thought, “This is how a man can be and should be”. YouTube - 17 minute video of the Tsleil-Waututh Nation – People of the Inlet

  1. 1. The Tsleil-Waututh Nation ("TWN") are Coast Salish peoples who speak hən̓q̓əmin̓əm̓, the Downriver dialect of the Halkomelem language, and are closely related to but politically and culturally separate from the nearby nations of the Squamish and xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam). A little while ago the Xwmelcsten and Ooyápelálexw Sto:lo villages occupied both sides of the Capilano River, the Xwmelcsten village was to the west, on what the District of West Vancouver now calls Ambleside Park

  2. I lived in Port Hardy for 12 years, on the land of Kwak'wala speaking people. Jody Wilson-Raybould is my Chief.

I hope you enjoy my recent photograph of 3,288 m (10,786 ft) Mt. Baker Stratovolcano (Kulshan). The United States Geological Service rates it a VERY HIGH RISK [https://www.usgs.gov/volcanoes/mount-baker/volcanic-hazards-mount-baker].


Around 5:30-7:15am. If it is a clear day I can see forever. I took this photograph just after the sun had come up over the mountains in the east, around the Coquihalla / Chilliwack / Hope area as the sun's rays struck the bottoms of the clouds overhead, but before the sun cleared Mount Seymour and the local mountains. I never photo-shop anything, ever. Just get up in the morning.

A Wood Duck Story

After three years of me and my two brothers and sister being Institutionalized I aged out a 15 and went for a hike up Lynn Creek, and fell in love.  As a young men and women we had all been encouraged to go out and explore.  I was hiking around the South Chilcotin Mountains Provincial Park, above my home town of Minto in the Bridge River Valley when I was 20 months old.  I learned to write and  Graduated Grade One in the one room Minto Elementary School, at aged 6, in 1951.  Gun Creek had jumped its rip-rap banks in late April, 1951 and flooded Minto out.  I looked through Ma Murray's Bride River - Lillooet Newspaper archive but was unable to find the exact dates.  Mom and four of us children were evacuated up to Taughton Lake

Man has finally succeeded in making the ancient dream of Greek philosophers come true - to «see» an atom. In another direction we also seem to have unlimited sight: the «Hubble Telescope» grants us a glimpse of the remotest galaxies. This documentary assesses the limits of human perception, taking us on a journey through time from the quasars, millions of light-years away from earth, via the wonders of our populated world to the depths of human genotype and the structure of a single atom. «Limits of Perception» promises a filmic journey of exploration from micro- into macrocosm.

Cascadia - A Place Where Giants Roam | Wildlife Documentary Watch 'Blue Planet: The Fascinating World Beneath the Waves' here: https://youtu.be/CnmLgezy3jc Olympic National Park was founded in 1938 and is located in the western part of the US state of Washington on the Olympic Peninsula. Since 1976 the national park has also been designated as a UNESCO biosphere reserve. In 1981 UNESCO declared it a World Heritage Site. Since the national park is located on a remote peninsula, some animal and plant species have developed here that can only be found here in the park. For this reason, the park is a popular research area for biologists and zoologists. The national park consists of two separate parts. The coastline is very rugged and often shrouded in fog. Inland, the forest connects directly to the beaches, which often leads to fallen tree trunks lying across the beach. The core area of ​​the park is the mountainous region around the Olympic Mountains, which is covered by many ancient glaciers. To the west of it are temperate rainforest up to the park boundary, here lies the wettest point in the contiguous United States. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Subscribe Free Documentary - Nature Channel for free: http://bit.ly/2mFDC3Q Facebook: https://bit.ly/2QfRxbG Twitter: https://bit.ly/2QlwRiI ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ #FreeDocumentaryNature #Documentary #Cascadia ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Free Documentary is dedicated to bring high-class documentaries to you on youtube for free.

Sky Hunters, The World of the Dragonfly - The Secrets of Nature

Sky Hunters, The World of the Dragonfly - The Secrets of Nature

https://youtu.be/knlXTU1R_rE    [49:48 minutes]


They hover over ponds and pools and inhabit the banks of rivers and streams. With their dazzling metallic colours and unique ways of flying they are truly jewels of the air. This film presents dragonflies as they have never been seen before. Fascinating close up shots take us into the world of these insects, which have lived on earth since the age of the dinosaurs. Spectacular super slow motion shots and elaborate computer animation uncover, for the first time, how dragonflies capture their prey at lightning speed while flying and how they mate in the air. Underwater photography reveals the development of the predatory dragonfly larvae while time lapse sequences show the emergence of the fully grown insect. However these amazingly colourful flying acrobats are in danger. The dragonfly's preferred habitat in and around water is rapidly diminishing, which, in Europe alone, has pushed around 80 species to the brink of extinction.
