Is it purely coincidental?

I first asked that question to myself on July 4th.
No they said, the Canadian Pacific west coast is just too far from Southern California.
The earth shaking cannot transfer tremors that far.
The scientists must know. Still, the coincidence is captivating, very.
Those earthquakes on the Canadian west coast; this is my backyard...I've been to all those places including near the spots on the ocean. It was part of my job.
It is interesting because it all started very actively on July 4th...both in Southern California and on the Canadian Pacific West coast.
Since the 4th, over 5,000+ aftershocks so far; that's just in California.
That 7.1 Mag of yesterday was felt as far as Mexico.
It'll take a while to check all the structures...bridges, skyscrapers, residential building foundations, roads, etc., etc., etc. ...Plus all undergound power lines, delicate materials, fragile architectural pieces, ...anything and everything that could become security issues eventually...sink holes, explosions of gas lines, buildings collapsing, fires, etc. Looks good right now on the surface but what we don't see is what could become hazardous and dangerous. Inspections would need to be performed meticulously. And you don't want any nuclear reactors build in any earthquake prone environment, no sir.
Check your electrical power grid, just to make sure, and keep listening to that sweet music from your hi-fi stereo system. Audiophiles are people who also play safe, in particular those sensitive tubes under shaking stress, plus the turntable's vibrations that can set the azimuth out of wack and the cartridge's adjustments off.
What about the laser disc transports with sensitive mechanisms?
Earthquakes cannot be good for audio electronics and hi-end audio gear.
Same for video equipment; TVs falling from their base supports, tables and wall's hanging brackets. Check your wire end connectors to make sure they're not loose.
You might laugh but if you leave close enough to a 7.1 Mag people are not laughing @ all.
If an earthquake happens in the hot summer dry season it can spark devastating fires with tremendous lost of building structures, and lives.
Can earthquakes be attributed to man-made climate change? ...Like from fracking for example.
In Alberta and in British Columbia, Canada ... it's certainly part of it.
In the USA I have zero clue. What about oil drilling rigs @ sea? What do they know the scientists, and who truly wants to listen?
Anyway, earthquakes and volcanoes are part of America west coast.
It's a fragile ecosystem that deserves caution and respect.
That last bit tsunami in Japan is going to be studied for the next hundred years.
By the time they are done with the scientific studies hopefully we're not all gone already.
Our planet is fragile, very. ...And so are all the people living on top of its surface.
