There was No Tsunami Threat generated by the event.
Beyond nearby Tofino and Ucluelet, the largest community in the region is Port Alberni which has approximately 20,000 residents.
It's located inland 107 kilometres from the epicentre at the eastern end of Alberni Inlet.
So far there have been a few reports from the region noting of some significant shuddering.
One of which came from BC cabinet minister Josie Osborne
