What we know about the 4.1-magnitude earthquake off B.C.'s South Coast
A 4.1-magnitude earthquake struck off B.C.'s South Coast. It struck the southeast tip of Orcas Island in Washington state, 42 kilometres east of Sidney, B.C. It was lightly felt across southern Vancouver Island and the Lower Mainland. John Cassidy is an earthquake seismologist with the Geological Survey of Canada and Natural Resources Canada. He says it’s unusual for people to feel two earthquakes so soon after each other.
