4.9 temblor rolls along Pacific fault line off of Vancouver Island

Another mid range temblor this evening
for the waters off the west coast of Vancouver Island


The seismic shifting has picked up again on the West Coast of Vancouver Island, with a 4.9 earthquake recorded at 9:22 this evening, 208 kilometres Southwest of Port Hardy.

The quake at a depth of 10 kilometres, is located in much the same area as a string of larger earthquakes ten days ago.

No Tsunami advisory was generated by this latest movement of the plates and there is no indication if the event was even noticed on Vancouver Island, let alone cause any damage.
