6.4-magnitude earthquake strikes off the coast of northern California
A 6.4-magnitude earthquake struck off the coast of northern California early Tuesday but there is no tsunami threat, seismologists say.
The relatively shallow quake hit 25 miles (40 kilometers) southwest of the port city of Eureka, in Humboldt county, the US Geological Survey says. In a preliminary assessment, the USGS said there is a low likelihood of casualties but some damage was possible.
Power supplies appear to have been hit, with nearly 60,000 customers without electricity in Humboldt County, according to poweroutage.us.
