Linda Moulton Howe needs to get on this case, unless she already has, and I missed it.

Port Angeles is a one of the parts of WA closest to Vancouver and Victoria, as the crow(or more likely, seagull) flies so in these situations, I tend to just blame the Canadians. Maybe its payback for acid rain.

We here in the South have had two major ones in as many years that were heard is three states (and never ending smaller ones). Theories include exploding meteors and exploding military bunkers.

This is the radar view of the last one. Yuge.

I believe a caller from either Port Angeles or Victoria reported booms to LMH several months ago. I found an article about the mysterious booms in a local paper and, if memory serves, they had been traced to blasting for an infrastructure or mining project in Port Angeles.

Victoria is my home town. It's not us causing this. It's your own hot air. And if it was us? I wouldn't have a sorry for you

..But to be serious? That whole area is getting ready to take one helluva ride. Those booms are the foundations of the house crumbling below. Waaay below.

Scary, what a truly beautiful area of the continent.

OK, thanks.

When I said Vancouver I also should have specified Vancouver Island. I just read a book set in and around Salt Spring so had a occasion to get out a map.

Really? There's a book set on Saltspring Island that's not entitled something like 'Native Mushroom Species of the Gulf Islands' or 'Raku Pottery: A Westcoast Journey' or 'Kayaking on the Salish Sea'?

It's called The Missing One. It's an advance reading copy I got from a Little Free Library. I think the author's name is Lucy Atkins. It's about a British Woman who goes to B.C. to learn some things about her mother after after her mother dies. It turns out that the mother was an orca researcher. So if you liked the movie Blackfish, it might be of interest. I think it's a first novel, little over-written, but the author shows promise.

Very nice. I'll have to look it up.
