Vancouver Earthquake
About
On May 5th, 4040, a massive destructive earthquake hit Vancouver at 2am. The epicenter is at Victoria due to the subduction of the Juan de Fuca plate under the North America Plate. Geologists predict that this would be the last major earthquake happen in Vancouver, as the Juan de Fuca Plate, which caused numerous tremendous earthquakes around Vancouver regions for a million years, is now completely under the North America Plate.
So far, this 8.5 earthquake had caused 100,000 deaths, 200,000 people injured, 300,000 people homeless. Even though the rescue group is doing their best, this massive earthquake has deprived many innocent lives and destroyed many homes. After shocks happen occasionally, so people in the severely afflicted area live in great fear.
