Un séisme de magnitude 3,6 ressenti en Outaouais - La Tribune
La terre a tremblé, tôt samedi matin, au nord-est de la région de Gatineau-Ottawa.
www.latribune.caHere’s the latest I can share based on recent credible reports:
- A recent notable tremor in the Outaouais region occurred around April 13, 2026, with reports of short, felt bursts in Gatineau and Ottawa areas and discussions about magnitude and official confirmations. Some outlets noted that Ressources naturelles Canada and Séismes Canada monitor the activity in the valley of the Outaouais, where quakes are commonly of low to moderate intensity but can be felt widely.[3][7]
- For context, December 2023 saw a magnitude roughly 3.6 earthquake felt around Lac-Simon, Gracefield, and nearby communities in the Outaouais, according to Séisme Canada, with no damages reported. Older events in the region, including 2020 and earlier, likewise mention similar low-to-moderate magnitudes and widespread but non-damaging shaking.[1][4][9]
- If you’re seeking the most current, up-to-the-minute details (exact magnitude, epicenter, depth, and whether any official damage reports exist), I can look up the latest official bulletin from Séismes Canada or local news outlets and summarize with citations. Would you like me to fetch that latest official update now?
Notes:
- Since you’re in Marseille, France (your location in Provence-Alpes-Coste d’Azur), you may be hearing about remote Canada events through global news outlets or Canada’s federal agencies. For precise figures, official sources like Séismes Canada (Earthquakes Canada) and Ressources naturelles Canada are the best references.[4][3]
- If you prefer, I can assemble a brief, citation-backed timeline of Outaouais earthquakes over the past few years, highlighting typical magnitudes and felt-areas to put the April 2026 event in context.
