Thanks, Kate. These Ocean Networks Canada seafloor observatories provide some of the most important recordings of offshore earthquakes - helping to advance our science.

An earthquake swarm continues today, ~150 km off the NW tip of #VancouverIsland. More than 15 events of M>3 (largest M5.1), and more than 50 of M<3. https://t.co/4mBR4tYbwh
Not unusual to see earthquakes here... including the M6.8 event of 1992: https://t.co/JM32ye3EpX

#taysci1#earthquake The tsunami was simply stronger and taller than the wall. However, the wall still delays the tsunami and allows more time for citizens to get to safety. https://t.co/AtLJXGtPGW
@alaina9780#taysci1#earthquake Thanks, i also found out that: 1. More than 120,000 buildings were destroyed. 2. The direct financial damage from the tsunami is estimated at roughly 200 billion USD(16.9 trillion yen)
@HUNTERBERRYMAN4#taysci1#earthquake The wave was able to carry away houses because most standard houses arent built to withstand the forces of a tsunami wave or the debris that it carries. https://t.co/36OWZiiOpA https://t.co/sbcxXYEXEV
@prosarahpatrick#taysci1#earthquake Are sky scrapers safe from tsunamis? The tsunami wave itself couldn’t, but debris resulting from it could. https://t.co/90ZDy9ma1L https://t.co/IGkOrN8ClH
