First waves hit Hawaii after tsunami warning issued following Canadian quake
Published October 28, 2012
FoxNews.com

The first of what could be several waves generated by a 7.7 magnitude earthquake off the coast of western Canada have arrived in Hawaii, with officials saying the highest waves so far are about 5 feet and no damage has been reported.

All of Hawaii remains under a tsunami warning that officials had said could bring a wave as high as seven feet to certain harbors. However, Gerard Fryer of the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center told The Associated Press Saturday night the first waves hitting shore are smaller than expected.

Fryer says the largest wave in the first 45 minutes of the tsunami was measured at 5 feet in Maui. He cautions the first waves are usually not the biggest for tsunamis in Hawaii and that it could be as long as seven hours before the warning is canceled if waves get bigger.

"It's beginning to look like the evacuation may not have been necessary," Fryer said...

If you live in on the east side of the Big Island and you think Saturday night's tsunami sirens sounded a little late - in many cases after you were alerted to the tsunami warning from alternate sources - you are not alone.

6.3-magnitude aftershock hits near B.C.'s Haida Gwaii

No injuries or major damage reported in tsunami-ready British Columbia, Hawaii

A 6.3-magnitude aftershock struck off the coast of B.C.'s Haida Gwaii islands Sunday morning ? less than 24 hours after Canada's strongest earthquake in more than 60 years hit the same area.

Officials said the temblor hit 64 kilometres southwest of Sandspit at a depth of 19 kilometres just before noon Sunday. A tweet from Emergency Information B.C. said no tsunami alerts were issued.

Erin Wilson, who lives in Skidegate, B.C., was speaking to the CBC News as the tremor shook.

"It's non-stop," she said. "You hear things creaking and cracking and you hear ? oh, another one right now. It's pretty scary."

More than 30 aftershocks have hit the area after a magnitude-7.7 earthquake struck Saturday evening, and several of the aftershocks measured at least 4 in magnitude.

The initial quake triggered tsunami warnings from the Washington border to Vancouver Island and as far away as Hawaii. But the warnings were cancelled early Sunday, several hours after they were issued.

The Haida Gwaii tsunami is the first regional tsunami tracked by NEPTUNE Canada's sensor network and will help in learning how BC coastal zones may react to large tsunamis originating in the region.

'We got lucky:' Haida Gwaii earthquake could have been much worse


By ian Austin and Frank Luba, The Province October 28, 2012

[snip]
?We got lucky,? said Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson, trying to impress upon residents how serious the results would have been if a 7.7 quake struck closer to the Lower Mainland.

?This is a real warning, close to home, that people need to heed.?

Robertson said 50 schools are at risk ? a major multi-year retrofitting of schools is underway ? and people shouldn?t be complacent because there were no damage or injuries.

?There are a lot of buildings around the city that are not ready for a large quake.?...
