Two earthquakes struck off the northern coast of the Canadian province of British Columbia Sunday but there were no immediate reports of damage.
The United States Geological Survey said the first earthquake, measuring magnitude 6.5, happened around 3:20 p.m. local time. It was located off the tip of Haida Gwaii, an archipelago located about 1,720 kilometers (1,069 miles) north of Vancouver and occurred at a depth of 33 kilometers (20 miles).
Natural Resources Canada said a second earthquake, measuring 4.5, occurred about an hour later in the same area.
The US Tsunami Warning Center reported that there was no threat of a tsunami from the quakes. No damage was reported.
