Earthquake shakes Vancouver, other parts of B.C.

Steve Stinchcombe was in his living room combing through prospective jobs for his company, Sechelt Glass, when the strong shaking began on British Columbia’s South Coast early Friday afternoon.He immediately worried about the hundreds of panes of glass propped up all around his property. Thankfully, the ferocity of the estimated 5.4 magnitude earthquake – which had an epicentre about 24 kilometres northwest of him – dissipated within a couple seconds and the smaller tremors tapered off shortly thereafter.
