Earthquakes Canada says a magnitude 6.1 earthquake has been recorded off the west coast of Vancouver Island Thursday morning.
The national earthquake agency says the quake, which was recorded at 8:08 a.m. is part of an ongoing “swarm of earthquakes offshore Vancouver Island, at the intersection of the northern Juan de Fuca Ridge, Sovanco Fracture Zone, and Nootka Fault Zone.”
Emergency Info BC says there is no tsunami threat to B.C. due to the quake.
The US Geological Survey initially recorded the quake as being magnitude 6.6.
Thursday’s earthquake comes after the region has seen about 10 earthquakes since the beginning of July, according to Earthquakes Canada.
