Earthquake Strikes Vancouver on February 21, 2025!
If you were sitting at your desk or out running errands when it happened, you might have felt a strange jolt. Just a few minutes ago (February 21, 2025), Vancouver got a little reminder that we live in an earthquake zone. Social media lit up within minutes with people asking, "Did anyone else just feel that?" Some barely noticed, while others swore their entire building swayed. The scenario was a 5.1-magnitude earthquake that struck the Sunshine Coast at a depth of 10 kilometres, according to preliminary readings, and the effects were felt here on the West Coast. It’s always surreal when something like this happens because, for the most part, we forget that the ground beneath us isn’t as stable as it seems. We hope everyone is okay—there may be some damage, perhaps even ruptured gas lines, but hopefully nothing serious. This moment is a reminder to think about how prepared we all are—not just for earthquakes, but for whatever shakes up our day-to-day. Click here for NEWS coverage about the small quake.
