Yesterday's M4.3 earthquake deep beneath the Puget sound was widely felt here in Victoria BC and beautifully recorded by the SchoolShake network. Here is the seismogram from Glenlyon Norfolk School showing very clear P and S wave arrivals

Did you hear 4 loud booms near Victoria, BC yesterday? A number of the SchoolShake Raspberry Shake seismographs recorded them. These are not earthquakes, but likely related to Naval activities near Metchosin.
