For the second time in two days, B.C.'s Fraser Valley was rattled by a small earthquake.

A 2.6-magnitude tremor, centred in five kilometres east of Mission, was recorded by the U.S. Geological Survey at around 4:30 a.m. Saturday.

No damage was recorded.

Serena Kind, who lives in Abbotsford, told CKNW Radio that she was jolted awake by the earthquake.

"All of a sudden, you could feel the whole house shaking, and my dogs are looking at me like, ‘What’s going on?’” said Kind.

On Thursday, a 2.4-magnitude earthquake struck near Abbotsford.
