Hey Penticton: Did you feel that?
PENTICTON – Plenty of people in the South Okanagan are reporting they felt a tremor shortly before 5 p.m. today and Natural Resources Canada has confirmed it was an earthquake.
Social media lit up around 4:45 p.m. with concerns about an earthquake, and Natural Resources Canada measured the tremor as a 2.5-magnitude earthquake near Princeton, though it took about 30 minutes for the report to be issued. No reports yet in the Central Okanagan.

Sure did feel it! I live off Vancouver Ave. There was a loud boom and shudder – for a moment I thought one of my huge trees had fallen on the house. It was very brief and intense, unlike other earthquakes I’ve experienced (which had tremors and lasted longer). This was more like a huge explosion occurred nearby.
