VANCOUVER – A 6.7 magnitude earthquake has struck off the coast of Port Hardy on Vancouver Island, according to the United States Geological Survey.

It struck at 8:10 p.m. PDT and the epicentre was located about 91 km south off the coast, at a depth of 23 km.

Residents in Port Hardy said the ground shook for about 35 to 40 seconds during the preliminary earthquake. Groceries were knocked off the shelves at the local Overwaitea store.

People are saying they felt it as far away as Langley and Kelowna.

Maybe a whale passed gas underneath your boat?

Lets not forget water is incompressible and sound travels better underwater than in air (as when the whale farts his buddy giggles :-) it may have just been the sound on the hull but none the less it was weird
