Victoria, there was a small earthquake 17km below South Oak Bay in the wee hours last night (around 03:41 AM). This was really well detected by our @raspishake.bsky.social network of @schoolshake.bsky.social seismometers! This was a very small event at depth, so would definitely not cause any damage

Clear P and S wave arrivals recorded by @schoolshake.bsky.social at North Saanich Middle School here on southern Vancouver Island. No relation to the M 5 Sechelt earthquake ten days ago (120 km N… too far for a direct aftershock for an EQ this size)

Here are the waveforms from the 23:23 UTC Cayman Islands Mw7.6 that occurred earlier today. You can see the waves arrive across the SchoolShake Network Raspberry Shakes in South West BC a bit more than 8 minutes after the earthquake.
