Just spoke with my friend in Masset. Initial quake and aftershocks lasted approx 10 minutes. Very scary! Initial water level increase of 8'. Tsunami could last for a few hours, and be several waves. East side of Vancouver Island has minimal risk, likely minimal further south on west side of the Island.
