Earthquake strikes off B.C. coast; latest in series of tremors
VANCOUVER, B.C.
The quake at 5:37 a.m. today occurred six miles beneath the sea floor 97 miles west of Port Hardy, about 293 miles northwest of Vancouver, B.C.
Garry Rogers of the Geological Survey of Canada says it was too small to trigger a tsunami. He says in that place were two other quakes Wednesday in the same yard through magnitudes around 5 and several tremors earlier in the week.
Rogers says it’s one of the more vigorous swarms in the last few years, but they are common in that area and not alarming.
