Tsunami warning issued in B.C. after 7.7 quake
No injuries or damage have been reported


A tsunami warning has been issued for coastal British Columbia following a magnitude 7.7 earthquake that struck near Haida Gwaii on Saturday night, the U.S. Geological Survey reported.

The quake was felt across a wide area that includes Prince Rupert, Quesnel and Houston.

The tsunami warning included an area from the north tip of Vancouver Island to Alaska, but so far there have been no reports of damage.

The Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre said there was the possibility of “widespread dangerous coastal flooding accompanied by powerful currents.”

The quake was centred 198 kilometres south-southwest of Prince Rupert at a depth of 10 km, the USGS said.

“A major earthquake occurred in the Haida Gwaii region (formerly known as the Queen Charlotte Islands). It was felt across much of north-central B.C., including Haida Gwaii, Prince Rupert, Quesnel and Houston. There have been no reports of damage at this time,” Natural Resources Canada said in a statement issued Saturday night.
