(CNN) -- A magnitude 6.6. earthquake struck Tuesday off Canada's Pacific coast, the U.S. Geological Survey said.
The strong quake hit about 339 kilometers (211 miles) south of Metlakatla, Alaska, and about 667 kilometers (414 miles) west-northwest of Vancouver, British Columbia, the USGS reported.
It struck about 7:30 a.m. (10:30 a.m. ET), the USGS said.
A second quake, apparently an aftershock, struck in the same area minutes later, according to the USGS. That temblor had a magnitude of 5.7.
No damage was immediately reported.

It's too bad they don't show exactly where it happened. Looks like it may have happened near the Queen Charlotte Islands. That's definitely not a heavily populated area. A friend of mine actually came back from a contract there last month.

Not sure if this is true, but I heard that there was a pretty big earthquake in Canada...
