No damage and no tsunami is expected from a small earthquake off the coast of Vancouver Island this morning.
The US Geological Survey says it was a magnitude 4.5 quake and happened nearly 260 kilometres southwest of Tofino, at around 10 kilometres in depth. It was recorded at about 12:40 am early this morning.
The last notable quake in the region was a month ago near Port Hardy, when another 4.5 magnitude quake was recorded about 200 kilometres off the west coast.
