3.9 Magnitude earthquake 9km from Beloeil, Canada.
The shallow depth of this earthquake, 9.9km, and the soil of this area made this earthquake felt a little stronger than usual and felt in a wider area. This earthquake, as people tell us, was felt for over 2 to 5 seconds and was followed by a huge noise. We are sure this earthquake although scary for the people living around, should not make damage or injuries.
Update: Both USGS and EMSC are giving a magnitude of 3.9 but Natural Resources Canada is giving a magnitude of 4.5… a big difference!
Update: The earthquake happened at 12:20a.m so a lot of people woke up, this “unusual” earthquake was also felt in the state of New York and Vermont, U.S.A.
-USGS shakemap shows a big area covered as a weak to light shaking (MMI III-IV), the earthquake could only cause light damage like cracked walls or chimneys around the epicenter.
Update: USGS tectonic summary shows: “earthquakes cause damage in the zone about once a decade. Smaller earthquakes are felt three or four times a year”.
