Wow! 127 years of recording large, global #earthquakes in Victoria, Canada! On September 3, 1898, a Milne seismograph began operation in the basement of the old Customs House building on the Victoria waterfront. It was one of the first seismographs in Canada: science.gc.ca/site/science... ⚒️🧪🇨🇦

Welcome to #September - when my #VancouverIsland lemon tree still has lots of ripe lemons from this past Spring but also has lots of new lemons that will be ready to pick in 2026! #Lemons 🌱🍋🇨🇦

It is looking like a greek salad sort of day... All freshly picked. If only I had a goat for feta cheese...🌱📷

You have to love #August... Fresh picked today - tomatoes, cucumbers, yellow beans, green beans, snow peas, red peppers, basil, and cucamelons! Not picked today - perhaps tomorrow - radish, squash, beets, green onions, kale, arugula, lettuce, and #lemons. 🌱

M 7.5 - 2025 Southern Drake Passage Earthquake earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/...

76 years ago tonight - a M8.1 #earthquake off #HaidaGwaii ruptured a 500-km-long segment of the Queen Charlotte Fault ("Canada's San Andreas Fault"). The average slip along the #fault was ~5 m. Shaking was so strong that it was hard to stand. More than 100 aftershocks were felt on Haida Gwaii. ⚒️🧪🇨🇦

August 21, 1949 - a damaging M8.1 #earthquake (one of the largest ever recorded in North America) struck off #HaidaGwaii. Shaking was so strong that it was hard to stand. Felt across most of #BritishColumbia, parts of Alberta, WA, Yukon and Alaska www.earthquakescanada.nrcan.gc.ca/historic-his... ⚒️🧪
