My coworkers and I just felt the building shaking, anyone else experience that?
I'm in Yaletown area, the building is quite old and the frame is wood.

How come we don't feel it in Burnaby?
Yeah, after hearing about it for 15 years, didn't expect it comes finally... but 6.8 is lower than I expected for the big one...

6.8 is not small at all la. Lucky that it happened at a depth of 23km. If it were closer to the surface, there would be a lot more damage.
