A small earthquake in the Pacific Northwest struck at 2:05 AM PST Saturday, in an area on the Washington-Canada border known as the Strait of Juan de Fuca . The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) reported that the 3.3 magnitude underwater quake was not strong enough to cause a tsunami.

More than 100 people in British Columbia reported feeling the earthquake, but no damage or injuries were reported.While the earthquake was small, experts noted that the epicenter of the quake was located near the Pacific Ocean’s notorious Cascadia Subduction Zone, a well-known source of some of the world’s most destructive tsunamis.

Monday, another Pacific quake fanned tsunami fears when Taiwan's Central Weather Bureau reported a 6.0 magnitude earthquake with an epicenter 135 km from Taipei. No tsunami, damage or injuries were reported in the small island nation. Taiwan sees frequent earthquakes throughout the year but a 7.6 magnitude earthquake claimed more than 2,300 lives in 1999.
