By Lauren Regnier

A mild earthquake vibrated the Northwest side of Vancouver Island early Thursday morning.

According to the U.S. Geological Survey, the 4.1 magnitude earthquake struck at 4:02 a.m. PST, reported The Globe and Mail.

The USGS said that the quake is a probable aftershock of the 6.3 magnitude earthquake that struck on Friday, reported CTV Montreal.

This was just one of six quakes that shook the Pacific Coast, from Baja, Mexico up to Alaska, between midnight and a little after 4 a.m. reported CTV Montreal.

According to The Globe and Mail, the strongest of these occurred in Alaska but none exceeded a magnitude of 4.5.
