Flurry of Sunday seismic action for BC, Alaska. With events recorded Offshore of Tofino and Aleutian Islands among the stronger temblors

The North Pacific fault line has been somewhat active this Sunday

The seismic plates have been somewhat active this Sunday, with a string of moderate and one large quake striking points in British Columbia, Washington State and Alaska since the noon hour.

The flurry of quakes began at 12:30 this afternoon of the coast of Vancouver Island with a 4.1 quake recorded 236 kilometres off of Tofino. Listed at a depth of 10 kilometres, it was far enough offshore that there were no reports delivered from Vancouver Island residents.

A slightly smaller quake was recorded in Packwood, Washington at roughly the same time.

At 4.1 magnitude and significantly off shore from Tofino there
was little of note recorded from the Sunday afternoon event

The largest of the recent swarm was recorded off the Aleutian chain of Islands in Alaska just after 9PM tonight, a 6.0 magnitude quake, that seismic event 90 miles SW of Adak, Alaska had been preceded by a couple of mid range quakes recorded further to the east and closer to the larger population centres near Anchorage.

No Tsunami warning was generated by either the BC event or that of the larger event in Alaska.
