Powerful
7.4 magnitude earthquakes strikes Guatemala killing
at least 48
November 8,
2012 – GUATEMALA – A magnitude 7.4 earthquake
struck Guatemala on Wednesday, killing at least 48
people, injuring about 150 and leaving 23
unaccounted for, government officials said. They
warned that the official toll was preliminary and
could rise. “This is the largest earthquake we have
had since the one in 1976,” President Otto
Pérez Molina said at a news conference,
recalling the temblor that killed about 23,000
people. The earthquake on Wednesday, centered off
the Pacific Coast of Guatemala, struck at 10:35
a.m., leveling houses and damaging government
buildings, schools and roads. “It was too strong,”
said Yesenia Miranda, 30, a pastor at a church in
the department of San Marcos, the area hardest hit.
“We’ve never lived through anything like this.”
During the earthquake, the church’s walls cracked
and its windows broke, said Ms. Miranda, who is
helping operate a relief center out of the rooms
that were not damaged. The city’s hospital, she
said, had extensive damage and was operating at less
than capacity. After a wall at a local prison fell,
breaching security, 98 inmates were taken to a jail
in nearby Quetzaltenango. Although no major damage
was reported outside of Guatemala, shaking could be
felt in buildings as far as San Salvador and Mexico
City. Mr. Pérez Molina placed San Marcos,
adjacent to the border with Mexico, under the
highest disaster alert level and traveled there to
assess the damage. Saying that aftershocks were
likely, he asked people to evacuate buildings,
especially those made of adobe. Shortly after the
earthquake was felt, Twitter users began posting
photographs of homes with deeply cracked walls,
surrounded by small mounds of debris and buried
cars. In some pictures, roads leading to San Marcos
appeared to be entirely blocked by landslides. In a
dizzying video, lamps were swinging and a panicked
dog could be heard in the background. –NY Times
November 8,
2012 – VANCOUVER - A 6.3-magnitude
earthquake occurred off Vancouver Island Wednesday
night. The U.S. Geological Survey reports that the
quake occurred about 182 kilometres southwest of
Port Hardy, B.C. around 9 p.m. ET. There were no
immediate reports of any damage. No tsunami
warnings have been issued. A number of tsunami
warnings were issued when a 7.7-magnitude quake
struck off B.C.’s coast on Oct. 27, but all were
later downgraded. At that time, the coastal area
from the north tip of Vancouver Island to Cape
Decision, Alaska was in potential danger. The
quake was felt across north-central B.C. and some
low-lying communities were evacuated as a
precaution. –CTV
