This is the best summary I could come up with:

An earthquake in northwestern Washington state was felt around the Greater Victoria area Sunday evening.

The 4.5-magnitude quake hit about 65 kilometres southeast of Victoria, just to the east of the Olympic Peninsula, at a depth of 39 kilometres at 7:21 p.m. PT, according to Earthquakes Canada.

“It would be very mild, just a little tiny rumble or jolt,” said Alison Bird, earthquake seismologist with the federal government.

People reported on social media feeling the jolt and noticed buildings shaking.

Bird said it’s a reminder that British Columbians live in an area susceptible to earthquakes.

Next week, on Oct. 19, people across the world will practice earthquake drills for International ShakeOut day.
