An earthquake has reportedly been felt off Ucluelet in the far south as Oregon – Parksville Qualicum Beach News

You might not have felt them, but there were two small earthquakes off Vancouver Island on Friday afternoon and early Saturday morning.

According to John Cassidy, a seismologist at Canadian National Resources, posted on social media, the first slight earthquake occurred on April 9 on the island’s northwest coast and was recorded as a magnitude 1.5 earthquake.

He noted that no one reported feeling a “small earthquake,” but it was a reminder that the island is an “active seismic zone” and that even the smallest earthquakes can be detected.

No one felt a small earthquake (M ~ 1.5) this afternoon on the west coast of #Vancouver Island, but it is a reminder of an active seismic area and we can easily detect earthquakes that are too small to be felt in this area. Canadian Earthquakes: https: //t.co/vrsia5qHdW pic.twitter.com/okwyL8em8Y
