From the news I'm hearing the quake epicentre was in a sparsely populated region of Haida Gwaii (Queen Charlotte Islands). Most of the populated areas on the island are on the east side. So far it sounds like everyone in that area is okay. I'm in Alberta, so I'm a fair distance away. I don't know which part of BC Outlaw is in.
Haida Gwaii, however, is a place with historic and cultural significance, and a lot of the area on the west side is part of a national park and heritage site. Most of the residents are members of the Haida nation (Indian) and are close family groups. Reading about the tsunami has reminded me that Haida Gwaii is on my list of incredible and amazing places I hope to visit one day.
