Two underwater earthquakes off the coast of Vancouver Island were recorded Wednesday night.
Earthquakes Canada says the first registered at 4.8, with the second clocking in at a magnitude 4.3.
Both quakes were around 191 kilometres northwest of Port Alice and didn’t cause any damage or risk of a tsunami.
This latest earthquake comes after Fort St. John rocked on April 13 due to an “industry-related” earthquake.
According to Earthquakes Canada, the country has felt 18 earthquakes so far in 2024, with B.C. home to the lion’s share of eight.
