5.7 quake recorded off Vancouver Island, no tsunami
VANCOUVER, B.C. - A 5.7 earthquake has been recorded about 105 miles west of Ucluelet off the coast of Vancouver Island, British Columbia.
A National Earthquake Information Center spokesman in Golden, Colo., says there was no danger of a tsunami from the shallow quake.
It occurred at 12:05 p.m. Saturday and was felt as far away as Lopez Island, Wash.
Several Vancouver Island residents also reported feeling the earthquake, but there were no reports of injuries or damage.
Two smaller quakes, a 4.3 magnitude and a 3.0 magnitude, also occurred almost simultaneously off the coast of Oregon about a half-hour before the 5.7 earthquake.
