FRIDAY HARBOR, Wash. (AP) — A small earthquake has been reported in the Strait of Juan de Fuca between Victoria, B.C., and Washington state.

No injuries or damages have been reported, and the 3.3-magnitude underwater quake was too small to generate a tsunami.

The U.S. Geological survey says the temblor struck at 2:05 a.m. Saturday along the Washington-Canada maritime border. It was centered 10 miles southeast of Victoria and 16 miles south-southwest of Friday Harbor, Wash.

The USGS says more than 100 people in Victoria reported feeling the earthquake.
