Small quake south of Kamloops Wednesday
KAMLOOPS — It’s doubtful you felt it, but there was an earthquake 59 kilometres south of Kamloops this morning.
Alison Bird, an earthquake seismologist with Natural Resources Canada, says the 2.2 magnitude quake hit at 8:39 a.m. local time.
“It was a fairly small event and it was quite shallow. It’s not that significant. It doesn’t look like anyone there felt it and it certainly wouldn’t have caused any damage.”
And while earthquakes are known to threaten places like the West Coast, she says small quakes like this morning’s aren’t that uncommon in this region.
