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.

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.

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