Hum,
there was nothing last week, but its going to happen....

It's long been known that Vancouver Island is slowly moving eastward toward the mainland. But suddenly, the data showed the movement was reversed.
Eventually, scientists linked this reversal of movement to the tremor events. Right now, Dr. Rogers noted, Vancouver Island is again moving west.
The scientists' findings were presented four years ago at the annual meeting of the American Geophysical Union in San Francisco.
Since then, dozens of scientists from around the globe have begun tracking tremor events.
One day, one of these tremor events will cause the fault line to rupture, he said, resulting in an earthquake magnitude measuring as high as 9.
