The Charlevoix-Kamouraska earthquake occurred on February 28, 1925, centered in the Charlevoix region of Quebec, Canada. It reached a magnitude of 6.2 on the Richter scale, making it one of the strongest seismic events recorded in eastern North America. The quake produced significant shaking and numerous aftershocks that impacted not only the immediate vicinity but also affected areas as far away as New York City, Boston, and even parts of the Midwest. In Quebec, the towns of La Malbaie and Saint-Irénée faced considerable infrastructure damage, including collapsed buildings and disrupted services. Reports of the quake mentioned that vibrations were strong enough to toss people from their beds, leading to panic and concern about aftershocks.The geological context of this earthquake is varied; eastern North America, while not as seismically active as the West Coast, is not immune to tectonic activity. The quake is attributed to stress along faults in the earth’s crust in the Charlevoix Seismic Zone. Notably, this area has experienced other significant seismic events, making it a focus of interest for geologists studying the underlying mechanisms of earthquakes.In terms of aftermath, the Charlevoix-Kamouraska earthquake raised awareness around earthquake preparedness in this less-anticipated seismic zone. Reconstruction efforts began quickly, yet the infrastructure repair extended for years to fully restore the affected areas to pre-quake conditions. This earthquake also contributed to discussions among scientists about the seismic history of eastern Canada and the need for further research in understanding earthquakes on the North American continent.
