It looks like Natural Resources Canada has made at least one webcorder (the most important temporary seismometer station (available) online: "UBRB". This station is the closest, if not on actually ontop of the actual quake epicenters.

Using the 2 links below U can view the realtime & archives of it, and other stations. From my information I gratefully received from the Natural Resourses Canada Seismologist's Dr. Issam Al-Khoubbi, one of the next closest online stations to UBRB is THMB.

I find the setting I like the best for viewing the data is the "Band-pass filtered and autoscaled" option on the Filter options menu ...

Note: times & dates are in UTC (GMT-ish)

UBRB station is very close to epicenter)
THMB station is nearby new seismometer, (you) can use to verify event on station UBRB)

Map relating Station THMB to station UBRB (epicenters).. I believe..)

A common expression in Nazko is "the seismic line"

Nazko has had electricity for about 20 years and telephone for about 15. That gives you and idea of how remote it was. There are still ranches in the area that do not have electricity.

From Nazko, west to the coast, (about 200 miles) was basically nothing but miles of green trees. In the midst of those green trees, was a straight, swath of bare ground, running for miles, which the locals call the seismic line.

I think it was probably in the late seventies, early eighties, that a group came in and ran the seismic line. I suppose it was an oil company. My dad said they came in quietly, set up camp, and quietly left. I don't know how long they were there for one summer or two.

They were testing for natural gas, which I have heard they found lots of. I know the line runs through the Itcha mountains which are part of the Anahim belt.

There might have been more than one line. It seems like I have seen one that runs north/south, but I can't remember.

No longer is it a sea of green for 200 miles to the coast. It is a sea of red, or, as the dead pine needles fall, a sea of gray. The picture you have posted of the Nazko cone, must be a few years old, because the green pine trees are no longer green.

The winters in central BC usually had cold snaps that would reach 50 below. Now they often don't get below minus 20. Definitely a climate change and not enough cold weather to kill the mountain pine beetle.

Forest fires are a fear.

Last year the road crew in Nazko spent the summer, widening, oiling and graveling one of the forestry roads. Speculation was, maybe they were going to open up some gas wells.

I wonder now if they will.
