September Forecasts And Discussions

With all due respect to Frankie, Vancouver will never have a major earthquake. Yes, earthquakes of 5 and 6 are possible, but nothing like what Anchorage had in 1964 or what the Queen Charlottes or California gets sometimes. The reason being that the nearest fault line is almost 300km away. plates.png

Anchorage is 125km west of the epicenter of the 1964 quake.

Vancouver is close enough to the danger zone that I'd be concerned and it is the type of setup that can experience very severe quakes, similar to Chile, Japan, New Zealand, and Alaska.

His video was specifically mentioning Vancouver Island though, he never mentioned Vancouver itself.

And that fault is now due for an Mw 9.0 earthquake. Once the numbers get that large, the epicenter does not have to be that close for major damage to get done.

Definitely looks like quite the cool down starting around the 10th with a fall-like pattern setting up, though it doesn't look crazy wet... yet. Maybe that means we warm up again and dry out late month or in early October.

And don't forget a nice warm and dry December and January

That would be par for the course.

Though if I had only two choices, I'd prefer a warm and dry pattern in December/January over a warm/wet one.

Yeah if that plate gave way we'd be in huge trouble Glace.

Yup, hitting the gym daily,which is at my house. My winning formula : 3 curls with my shovel , 2 jumping jacks , 1 pushup, and half a chin up. After burning so many calories I then nourish and replenish my body with 3 balanced meals : breakfast- large bowl of dark chocolate mini donuts sprinkled with fresh raspberries. Lunch : protein shake and banana/earl grey tea smoothie. Dinner : 3 cheeseburgers , 2 jumbo hot dogs , and a bowl of chorizo sausage cherry tomato pasta salad , no fries. I make sure I fast between meals, very important, liquids only, I alternate between water,coffee and beer.
Warning, do not try this at home,leave it to the professionals.

Even a tsunami set off on the east coast of Japan could have serious effects here.
