I didn't receive one. I didn't know about it until Lemmy informed me.

I got one about an hour after the shaking stopped over here on Vancouver Island. That long after, why bother. Several people had already texted/alerted about it.

Mine came about 2 seconds after the shaking,

Yeah nothing here either on my work or home cell, even though the building was swaying and cabinet doors banging.

There was an earthquake?

Didn't feel/hear about it at all towards the Okanagan.

I'm guessing near mainland Vancouver?

/edit 4.8 ~60km NW from central Vancouver. Barely reached Van let alone further in land.
