Minor earthquake shakes western Quebec
A minor earthquake shook western Quebec on Tuesday morning, with an epicentre about 30 kilometres north of Hawkesbury, Ont.
www.cbc.caI don’t have live updates available in this moment, but here are the latest general notes on Quebec quakes based on recent public reports.
- In late 2024 and early 2025, several minor quakes were reported in Quebec, with magnitudes typically around 4.0–4.6 and felt in parts of the province but causing no damage in most cases. For example, a 4.6 magnitude event was widely reported as being felt in Drummondville, Trois-Rivières, and Montreal, with no damage reported. These events were tracked by Natural Resources Canada and covered by local outlets at the time.
- Quebec’s seismic activity is monitored by national agencies, and smaller quakes (below about 3.0–3.5) can go largely unreported by the public unless felt or notable in depth. Ongoing monitoring and summary pages exist that list recent events by location and magnitude.
- For the most up-to-date information, check authoritative sources such as Natural Resources Canada, the U.S. Geological Survey, and major Canadian outlets’ follow-ups (e.g., local Montreal/Quebec City news). These platforms frequently publish real-time updates following any new tremor, including epicenter, depth, and whether any damage was observed.
Would you like me to pull the very latest entries from official sources and summarize any events within the last 7 days, including location, magnitude, depth, and felt reports? If yes, I can fetch and format those details for you.
