Earthquake hits Canada
Many regions of British Columbia were shaken Friday afternoon by a magnitude 6.4 earthquake that struck off the coast of Vancouver Island, reports the National Post.
While no tsunami warning was triggered by the quake, a geophysicist with the U.S. Geological Survey said damage is possible in many B.C. regions.
Residents of Vancouver Island, the 290-mile-long land mass to the west of the city, said they felt the impact. The temblor hit west of the island yesterday at 12:41 p.m. local time, according to the U.S. Geological Survey, the Bloomberg reports.
