Washington Emergency Management Division officials estimated a 5.1 earthquake in British Columbia Friday around 1:40 p.m.

However, other reports, according to Emergency Management, say it may have been downgraded to a 4.7.

The division then released a map of the people who have reported feeling it.

“Remember, if you feel an earthquake (& it lasts longer than, like, a second) drop to the ground, cover your head with something or get under something and hold on,” officials wrote.

Those who did feel the quake can report it here.
