4.8-magnitude earthquake detected to the west of Vancouver Island

A 48 magnitude earthquake happened near Vancouver Island on Thursday evening.

Earthquakes Canada said there was an earthquake just after 8 pm. It happened 206 kilometres southwest of Port Alice.

Only one person told the government that they felt the earthquake. They said the shaking was not very strong. The agency in charge of earthquakes said there was no damage and they didn’t expect any because of how strong the earthquake was and where it happened.

Fourteen people sent reports saying they felt the earthquake. Eleven people said the shaking was weak, and three others said it was light.
