The quake was felt on Vancouver Island, the Haida Gwaii area, Prince Rupert, Quesnel and Houston, but so far there have been no reports of damage.

A tsunami warning has been issued for coastal British Columbia following a magnitude 7.7 earthquake that struck near Haida Gwaii on Saturday night, the U.S. Geological Survey reported.

The quake was felt across a wide area of north-central B.C., including Prince Rupert, Quesnel and Houston. It was followed by a 5.8-magnitude aftershock several minutes later.

The tsunami warning took in much of the West Coast, extending south to Washingon, Oregon and Northern California. To the north, the warning covered an area extending from the north tip of Vancouver Island to Alaska. There have been no reports of damage.
