This is not meant to alarm you. However, since you have expressed concern in previous posts about the 'pending earthquake situation' on Canada's west coast, you may want to read this.
The Ring of Fire's potential impact on British Columbia - The Weather Network
With a background in geology, I know that this report is true. I think that people who live on the west coast of Canada AND the US AND South America need to be prepared. It's not a matter of 'if' - it is a matter of 'when.'
We had a small quake here in Eastern Ontario yesterday. I say again because we had one last summer that was 'only' a magnitude 5 on the Richter scale. And believe me, I was home when it hit and it was plenty scary! - Last summer's quake was centered close to Gracefield, Ont., and Maniwaki, Que., (on June 23, 2010) - all in roughly the same zone as yesterday's minor quake.

The epicenter of yesterday's Quake was situated in Lachute, Quebec, which is close to where I live in Eastern Ontario - Lachute is about a bit over an hour's drive east of Ottawa - I live about and hour and a half's drive west of Ottawa. Considering that we are in a low risk zone - with about one small quake that you actually feel about every ten years or so, this second quake really does tell you something about the movement of the earth's crust at this point in time.
The earth's crust is shifting. That's what the earth's crust does. And until it gets comfortable again, its going to shift and keep shifting until it does. (And then it will slowly start building up pressure again.)
There is nothing anyone can do to prevent this. However, it is always wise to be prepared - inform yourself about what might happen and plan accordingly.
I wish the earth were flat. Then none of this would happen. But since that is not the 'way of the world' there will be all kinds of so-called natural disasters.
Fear is not productive, but planning is. I strongly advise the latter. And not only for the west coasters, but for Easterner's as well because it's happening here, now. This too shall pass, but until it does...
