Mild earthquake rattles three Quebec cities, no damage reported
A 4.6 magnitude earthquake rumbled through parts of Quebec early Sunday morning.
montreal.ctvnews.caI don’t currently have live tool access to pull the very latest updates, but here’s what recent reporting generally shows about earthquakes in Quebec:
- Quebec’s western region occasionally experiences felt earthquakes, with magnitudes typically in the small-to-moderate range (around 3.0–4.6). In past notable events, people in Montreal, Ottawa, and nearby cities have reported feeling tremors, though damage is rarely reported.[1][5]
- Recent publicly reported events include a 4.6 magnitude quake impacting parts of Quebec in late summer 2024, with no damage reported according to Natural Resources Canada and local outlets. Smaller events, such as a 3.2 magnitude quake near Huntington, Quebec, were also noted with minimal impact.[2][5]
- Seismological agencies such as Earthquakes Canada monitor these events and typically assess that Western Quebec sits near a regional seismic hotspot, leading to occasional felt quakes without structural damage.[1][2]
