About three this morning there were two 6.5 quakes about 140 miles northwest of Port Hardy. Did anyone feel them?

I didn’t feel them at all. I’m located mid-Vancouver Island.

That might explain why apparently the dog was standing on me in the middle of the night. (My husband is a light sleeper, and reported it to me. The dog, being 6.5 pounds, did not wake me.)

But, no, we didn’t notice a quake.
