Did you feel shaking on Haida Gwaii at 1:45 p.m. today (September 15)? That was a M4.2 earthquake located off the west coast, 75 km west of Daajing Giids. Details/report shaking:

This is not an unusual event for this region. No impacts expected. ⚒️🧪

Good evening

- I noticed the latest HG shake was listed as Mw, but the others on the list are ML. Does the 3.9Mw get converted (forgive my lack of knowledge) to ML after investigation?

Feeling like half of the professional articles for people in my field are now "ChatGPT prompts for x,y,z." Envisioning a time very soon when half the content on the internet is GPT prompts and the other half is stuff written by GPT. Being at ground zero industry spearheading this shift is real trip

Fresh from the press, so to speak, a result of our

model based on the specifics of this earthquake (we will update it one we have more model runs). The color code is wave height in metres. The dotted line in the centre of the picture is the Hawaiian island chain.

On X, Masaki Nobushiro posts a recurring (and useful) drawing about how people wrongly think a 1m tsunami is a cresting wave when it's actually a wall of water filled with dangerous and deadly debris that's strong enough to sweep up a car.

A small act of kindness has turned into something incredible. Thanks to the overwhelming generosity of people near & far, we received an outpouring of donations that has left us forever grateful. Your kindness reminds us that compassion is contagious & that together, we can make a real difference.

Getting critical supplies to remote Indigenous communities shouldn't have a profit motive behind it. Canada Post workers deserve good pay and benefits and its in the common interest if a public service that operates at a loss. Better than selling weapons to the US (who then send them to Israel)

A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.

If you've ever had to travel on the ferry to Haida Gwaii, you know the # of stairs it takes to get to the passenger decks/cabins. Now there is no lift or stair chair available & no eta for repair. For people on medical/need assistance, it's a terrible situation 💩
