Magnitude 2.4 earthquake strikes near Maple Ridge, Metro Vancouver Regional District, British Columbia, Canada

A shallow magnitude 2.4 earthquake was reported in the evening near Maple Ridge, Metro Vancouver Regional District, British Columbia, Canada.
According to the United States Geological Survey, the quake hit on Monday, September 8th, 2025, at 9:28 pm local time at a shallow depth of 10.3 miles. Shallow earthquakes are felt more strongly than deeper ones as they are closer to the surface. The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the quake might be revised within the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their report.
Our monitoring service identified a second report from The Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology (IRIS) which listed the quake at magnitude 2.5. A third agency, the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), reported the same quake at magnitude 2.5.
According to preliminary calculations, we do not expect that the quake was felt by many people and did not cause any damage. In Maple Ridge (pop. 82,300, 6 miles away), Walnut Grove (pop. 25,700, 9 miles away), Mission (pop. 33,300, 12 miles away), Port Coquitlam (pop. 58,000, 13 miles away), Coquitlam (pop. 140,000, 13 miles away), Abbotsford (pop. 141,400, 17 miles away), Surrey (pop. 395,000, 18 miles away), Delta (pop. 101,700, 20 miles away), and Vancouver (pop. 600,000, 28 miles away), the quake was probably not felt.
