Tuesday's 530am #earthquake was a well-timed follow-up to #ShakeOutBC. The early timing and quiet schools resulted in the event being nicely recorded on all #SchoolShake instruments. If you felt it, you can still report it here www.earthquakescanada.nrcan.gc.ca/dyfi-lavr/fo...

Victoria, there was a small earthquake 17km below South Oak Bay in the wee hours last night (around 03:41 AM). This was really well detected by our @raspishake.bsky.social network of @schoolshake.bsky.social seismometers! This was a very small event at depth, so would definitely not cause any damage
