Thanks for the additional information... The USGS sure does great job reporting EQ data, don't they?
I don't know what all you said means yet but I definitely have my ears perked up regarding current EQ activity in that area.

Subject: Pinpoint-News-- 6.2M Offshore Vancouver Islland
The expected arrived, and by various other reports is now a 6.1M, or even a 5.8M.
Here is historical quake map:
http://neic.usgs.gov/neis/bulletin/neic_wgb9_h.html
There are a couple of things I find of interest. One is that it appears a very minor plate is being isolated, with North and South eastward extensions toward Vancouver Island. The second is that the MTS shows the usual p facing south, but this time it aligns with the ridge fault south of it.
This is happened so fast that the aftershocks today should give a hint as to how far this energy will be manifest.
Stay tuned,
Donald
