👉 Three minor earthquakes rattled the British Columbia coast near Port Hardy, with none of them being felt by residents. Earthquakes Canada reported a 4.0 magnitude quake at 8:20 a.m. PT, preceded by a 5.5 magnitude quake at 4:28 a.m. and another 4.2 magnitude quake about an hour and a half earlier in the same vicinity. The epicentre of the third quake was located 185 kilometres west of Port Hardy, north of Vancouver Island. The agency is closely monitoring a series of earthquakes offshore from northern Vancouver Island. Thankfully, there have been no reports of damage, and no tsunami warning has been issued. Seismic activity in this area is relatively common due to the convergence of three tectonic plates at the Queen Charlotte Triple Junction, resulting in periodic seismic events. While the area is seismically active, it remains challenging to predict when the next earthquake will occur.✅ . . #BCEarthquakes #PortHardyQuakes #SeismicActivity #EarthquakeAlert #TectonicPlates #QueenCharlotteTripleJunction #SafetyFirstBC #mnm #malayalisnearmeapp #canadaupdate #canadanews
