Earthquakes Canada

An earthquake shook objects from shelves in southeastern Alaska and adjacent sections of Canada, geologists said. The quake, which measured 5.3 on the Richter scale, was centered just southeast of Haines, Alaska, Bob Horner, a seismologist with the Geological Survey of Canada, said in a telephone interview from the Pacific Geoscience Centre in Sidney, British Columbia.

An earthquake measuring 6.3 rumbled through a remote area in northern Quebec on Monday, but no injuries or deaths were reported, the U.S. Geological Survey said.

Crews inspected power lines by helicopter Saturday in eastern Canada, checking for problems caused by the largest earthquake to hit the region in more than 50 years, as New York's Building Department reported that the city's skyscrapers weathered the temblor without structural damage.

A light earthquake rattled the Toronto area of Canada early Thursday, the U.S. Geological Survey reported. The survey's earthquake monitors at Golden, Colo., said the tremor measured 3.2 on the Richter scale.

A strong earthquake rattled much of the northeastern United States and eastern Canada on Friday, shaking buildings in both nations, knocking out power and phone service in much of Quebec province and frightening thousands of people, authorities said. There were no immediate reports of serious damage or injury. The Canadian government said that the earthquake, which was measured at a preliminary magnitude of 6.0 on the Richter scale, was the most powerful temblor to strike the region since 1935.
