PORT HARDY, B.C. - Four earthquakes measuring between 5 and 6 in magnitude struck Monday off the coast of Vancouver Island, the U.S. Geological Survey reports.
The first quake registered 5.2 in magnitude and struck at 8:44 a.m. PST. The second quake, which measured 5.7 in magnitude, hit at 11:13 a.m. A third quake measuring 6.0 was recorded at 11:49 a.m. The fourth quake, also 6.0 in magnitude, struck at 12:56 p.m.
All four quakes were centered about 100 miles west of Port Hardy, on the northern tip of Vancouver Island, and all were measured at a depth of about six miles.
There were no immediate reports of injuries or damage.

Cascadia awaking from a 300 year slumber?
Increasing intensity quakes in a short period of time is troubling.
Merry Quakemas!
Letting off a little pressure maybe? While I have no particular sympathy for the entire left coast, the expected Big One would be truly catastrophic.
Earthquakes in diverse places.
Trump’s fault!
Snore. Wake me up
If it’s a 7 or bigger.
Trudeau’s fault!
Tune in tomorrow...
We visited Victoria and stayed in a classic hotel. At 3:00 one day we had tea. There were cucumber sandwiches and crumpets..... the real deal
The problem with a quake in Victoria is it needs to be in San Francisco
Three, a 6.0, a 6.0 and a 6.3 in a less that 10 mile radius in three days doesn’t interest you?
So, could be normal. Earthquakes along this plate generally reduce pressure. However, a big one could let go several miles in and deep, and then...
Fo’getaboutit!
Tsunami's, Mt Rainer blowing its top, Shasta, Mt Baker, Mt Hood, what a mess!
Earth to us,....”BURP!”
As long as it takes out Goolag and Hollywood first, I’m not complaining.
But it’s not up to me.
Who’s doing underground nuke testing up there?
In addition to the mass of 4s and 5 surrounding the 6+ tremors.
There was a series of low level rumbles on-shore over the last month. Since the fault has recently been shown to be part of the large San Andras fault system, I’d be sure my preps are all on order.
I went thru a 7.2 quake last NOV and it was no fun, but thankfully, Anchorage is very earthquake resilient overall. Power automatically cut and was restored with two hours for most of the city.
If Cascadia rips, you will be in my prayers - as I head for high ground
Sounds like you stayed at the Empress in Victoria.
Great time to go is New Years. Impressive Fireworks over the harbor.
The Buchart Gardens Christmas lights are a must.
Just got back from Scotland end of September. Had high tea in the hotel we stayed at in Inverness. It was lovely. Had it about 5 pm and used it for dinner.
If the Cascadia let’s go, I doubt any of the Cascade volcanoes would erupt.
Granted, Seattle, Portland, and a bunch of other places would be wrecked, but I doubt there would be any eruptions.
