It was a rude wake-up call early this morning for residents of the Island.
A tsunami warning for coastal B.C. has been cancelled.
The warning was called by Emergency Management B.C. just after 2:00 am when a 7.9 magnitude earthquake struck about 250 kilometres southeast of Chiniak, Alaska.
That warning was cancelled two hours later.
Sirens wailed in Tofino where residents and tourists gathered at an emergency centre.
