6.7 earthquake in Vancouver.  No tsunami, no massive destruction.  Pfft.  What a non-news.   :cry:

:P

Still happy it wasn't the big one moving California up to Vancouver island ;)
I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.

If Microsoft Excel decided to stop working overnight, the world would practically end.

It was off the West coast of Vancouver Island - kind of the same region where there was a super quake in the 1700s.  Metro Vancouver would have felt it but the Islanders would have experienced it.   I have friends and family who commented on it to me.  When I was living out there i definitely felt a few... not a fun feeling.

I thought all Westerners got used to it?

Didnt feel it.  But others in my office did.  I was in a meeting and nobody else in the meeting commented on it.

I don't think it happened often enough to "get used to it".  When it did you felt pretty helpless... at least I did.
