A magnitude-4.9 earthquake struck off the west coast of Vancouver Island on Tuesday, but officials said there is no tsunami threat to British Columbia.
The quake was centred about 91 kilometres southwest of Tahsis, B.C. Its magnitude was revised to 4.9 from an earlier reading.
The U.S. National Tsunami Warning Center, which issues tsunami alerts for the B.C. coast, said no tsunami warning, advisory, watch or threat is in effect.
The earthquake follows a cluster of smaller quakes off Vancouver Island in recent weeks. A magnitude-4.2 quake struck 193 kilometres west of Port Hardy on Nov. 2, according to Earthquakes Canada.
