A magnitude 4.3 earthquake hit Rocky Mountain House the morning of March 10.

Earthquakes Canada states that at about 4 a.m. the earthquake hit but that little damage is expected. The earthquake is about 10 kms deep.

This earthquake is the second within a week, with the first one occurring in the Red Deer/Sylvan Lake area. That first earthquake was linked to a fracking well operated by Vesta Energy but it’s not clear the cause of Sunday’s earthquake.

More to come…
