Vancouver Island Rocked by Magnitude 6.4 Earthquake
Ongoing Earthquake Swarm Raises Concerns
Vancouver Island's west coast has been hit by a substantial earthquake, shaking southwestern Canada near Vancouver.
A 6.4 magnitude earthquake struck off the coast of Vancouver Island on Thursday morning, according to Earthquakes Canada. The epicenter of the quake was approximately 130 kilometers west of Port Renfrew. Despite its strength, there were no immediate reports of injuries or significant damage.
The earthquake is part of an ongoing earthquake swarm that has been occurring off the coast of Vancouver Island for several weeks. Officials are closely monitoring the situation, as large earthquakes can sometimes trigger a series of smaller quakes.
Scientists are studying the earthquake swarm to better understand the risks posed by large earthquakes in the region. They hope to gather more information about the size and frequency of future earthquakes, which could help in developing more effective disaster preparedness plans.
