An earthquake has hit BC and Natural Resources Canada says it measured 4.3 striking at 11:39pm. The US Geological Survey, however, says it measured 4.9 and was centred about 20 kilometres north of Victoria.  The Canadian agency says there are no reports of damage and adds none would be expected.  A Canadian Press reporter who lives in South Surrey says his entire house shook for a couple of seconds and that the quake felt like a truck passing by.  Emergency officials are reminding people not to call 9-1-1 unless it is an emergency.  This quake follows another that measured 4.4 and struck several hours earlier near San Bernardino, California.  The USGS said aftershocks of magnitude 3.8 and 3.2 came minutes later, and dozens of tiny aftershocks followed in the next few hours.
