The 1946 Vancouver Island earthquake struck Vancouver Island on the coast of British Columbia, Canada, on June 23 at 10:15 a.m. with a magnitude estimated at 7.0 Ms and 7.5 Mw. The main shock epicenter occurred in the Forbidden Plateau area northwest of Courtenay. While most of the large earthquakes in the Vancouver area occur at tectonic plate boundaries, the 1946 Vancouver Island earthquake was a crustal event. Shaking was felt from Portland, Oregon, to Prince Rupert, British Columbia. This is one of the most damaging earthquakes in the history of British Columbia, but damage was restricted because there were no heavily populated areas near the epicentre, where severe shaking occurred.

  • Das Erdbeben auf Vancouver Island von 1946 ereignete sich mit einer Stärke von 7,3 auf der Magnitudenskala und traf Vancouver Island vor der Pazifikküste Kanadas am 23. Juni 1946 um 10:13 Uhr. Das Epizentrum befand sich auf dem Forbidden Plateau nordwestlich von Courtenay. Während die meisten der großen Erdbeben in der Region Vancouver an der Grenze der tektonischen Platte auftreten, war das Erdbeben von 1946 ein Ereignis mit Bezug zur Erdkruste. Die Erschütterungen waren von Portland (Oregon) bis Prince Rupert im Norden British Columbias spürbar. Es war eines der Erdbeben, das in der Geschichte von British Columbia die meisten Zerstörungen verursachte, doch waren die Schäden insofern beschränkt, als es keine dicht besiedelten Gegenden nahe dem Epizentrum gab.
