A massive earthquake hit the north coast of British Columbia this evening at around 8PM. It was centred near Haida Gwaii (formerly known as the Queen Charlotte Islands), but was felt across a large part of the province. Thankfully all the reports I have read suggest that there is little to no damage and, more importantly, no human trajedy. A tsunami warning has been issued for the coast of the province, but at half a metre, it's not likely to do much damage either (a couple of small waves have already hit Haida Gwaii and Vancouver Island).
This webcam was set up by well-known nature photographer Rolf Hicker and family who reside in Port McNeill. It is a beautiful place and the objective of the site is to share the peace and tranquility of the area with the rest of the world.
Hope you enjoy it.
