A pre-dawn earthquake rumbled through the area north of Maniwaki Thursday, which is part of the same geological neighbourhood as Ottawa and Gatineau.
It had a magnitude of 4.1 (an earlier estimate said 4.2), which is enough for people to feel but unlikely to cause damage to buildings.
The earthquake at 3:51 a.m. was centred 85 kilometres north of Maniwaki, near the Cabonga Reservoir. It was 18 kilometres deep.
ALSO: A major earthquake could hit Ottawa. Are we prepared?
The West Quebec Seismic Zone, which runs from Montreal to Temiscaming, is quite active and records many earthquakes each year, though most are in the range of magnitude 2 to 3 and may not be felt.
This region’s large earthquake in June, 2010, was measured at 5.0.
