B.C. quake produces 100 small aftershocks, but no reports of significant damage

A Magnitude-6.4 earthquake that hit just west of Vancouver Island on Sept. 9 caused more than 100 aftershocks – the largest being a Magnitude of 4.9 – but no significant damage has been reported, according to Earthquakes Canada.
The initial 6.4 quake was felt from across Vancouver Island, Greater Vancouver and as far east as Kelowna. The initial quake resulted in more than 100 aftershocks, according to Earthquakes Canada.
“The largest aftershock occurred three minutes after the earthquake and had a magnitude of 4.9,” it reported. “The remaining aftershocks were in the magnitude 1-3 range and approximately 50 km offshore, thus too small and too far offshore to be felt or cause any damage.”
In concert with several media reports, Earthquakes Canada said “there have been no reports of damage” in connection with the quake.
