$1:
A tsunami warning has been issued for coastal British Columbia following a magnitude 7.7 earthquake that struck near Haida Gwaii on Saturday night, the U.S. Geological Survey reported.

The Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre said there was the possibility of “widespread dangerous coastal flooding accompanied by powerful currents.”

The quake was centred 198 kilometres south-southwest of Prince Rupert at a depth of 10 km, the USGS said.

“A major earthquake occurred in the Haida Gwaii region (formerly known as the Queen Charlotte Islands). It was felt across much of north-central B.C., including Haida Gwaii, Prince Rupert, Quesnel and Houston. There have been no reports of damage at this time,” Natural Resources Canada said in a statement issued Saturday night.

Shook the house here in Fort St. James so hard the wind chimes rang, I was laying on the bed watching the door swing and rattle. 400 miles inland here.
Talked to the kid in Terrace she said it rattled so bad there, the grand-daughter was freaking and everyone in the neighborhood ran outside. Didn't lose power though.

The seismologist on CBC just said that the earthquakes in that region usually do not cause large tsunami's.
