Two major earthquakes struck off the Western coast of Canada over the weekend, but the most powerful quake was expected to cause no significant insurance losses, one catastrophe modeler says.
Both earthquakes struck off the coast of British Columbia, closest to the town of Masset, Canada.
According the U.S. Geological Survey, the most powerful earthquake, a 7.7 magnitude earthquake, occurred at 8:04 p.m. on Saturday about 86 miles from Masset.
