Saturday temblor rumbles along West Coast of Vancouver Island



British Columbia recorded a 4.7 earthquake Saturday evening, the temblor centred off the west coast of Vancouver Island 127 km to the south of Port Hardy and North of Tofino.

It struck at 9:46 PM and had a depth of 10 kilometres but does not appear to have been noticed in much of the populated areas of the Island.

The quake was listed in a seismically active area of the West Coast of the Island, though it was the largest of recent quakes this year so far.

No Tsunami warning was generated by the event.
