A small earthquake shook parts of B.C.’s South Coast, including much of Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley, early Thursday morning.
Earthquakes Canada says it struck about 19 kilometres northeast of Victoria, in the Haro Strait, just after 4 a.m. at a magnitude of 3.8.
The United States Geological Survey agency says it recorded the quake at a magnitude of 4.
One caller to 1130 NewsRadio shared that they were woken up by the quake in their home in North Vancouver.
“It was about a minute ago. It was like a rolling feeling, [I was] obviously still in bed. It was only 4:06 in the morning, but it lasted two seconds, maybe three seconds, and it was significant. Things were shaking in the house, and you could just feel like, almost like a roll,” Adil in Edgemont shared.
“I heard rattling, absolutely. There’s a couple of chandeliers, maybe in the bathroom a few things shook around. I don’t think it’s enough to knock anything over, but that was significant.”
Meanwhile, Kelli in Richmond also felt the quake.
“My whole house shoot, for probably about two or three seconds,” she explained.
The B.C. government says there are no reports of any injuries and none are expected. The province confirmed there is no risk of a tsunami.
