My in-laws live in Port Hardy.. sounds like it wasn't really much of anything though

Probably just nature reminding people not to be too complacent when they live in an earthquake zone

And San Diego just had a few small 4.1s. Business as usual back to the beach !!

I felt it... Was pretty minor.

we could use a sunami at my place ...
