A 5.1-magnitude earthquake struck B.C.'s Sunshine Coast on Friday, shaking homes and prompting a number of emergency alerts across the Lower Mainland but stopping short of any major damage.

The earthquake hit near the community of Sechelt just before 1:30 p.m. PT, according to Earthquakes Canada. Despite being widely felt from Vancouver Island to Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley, officials said nobody reported any injuries or structural issues.

A number of people said it was the most prominent earthquake they'd felt in some time.

"I heard a loud boom, I felt the house shake," said Jackie Graham, who lives on the banks of the Puntledge River in Courtenay, a Vancouver Island city west of Sechelt.
