Alberta rocked by 5 earthquakes in the past 4 hours

But for residents that wasn't the only earthquake a larger 5.3 earthquake followed at 5:55 local time. This has been followed by at least 3 after shocks measuring over 4.0 on the scales as well.
The earthquake has since been adjusted to register as a 5.8 which would be the strongest earthquake ever registered in the province of Alberta.
