The M9 Cascadia Megathrust Earthquake of January 26, 1700 had a magnitude of 9.0.

(In case I am incorrect, wait around a little while; there is bound to be a more serious quake between Roog and dg!)

Nice finding Sailracer, my answer differs mainly because Canada (nor USA) were born yet in that year (1700) in time.


The earthquake I am looking for occured in the 1940's, and was totally in Canada, it wasn't however as strong as the one you found .
