A 6.4 magnitude earthquake was detected about 7.5 miles west-southwest of Ferndale, California, in Humboldt County, the US Geological Survey says
A 6.4 magnitude earthquake shook Northern California’s Eureka area early Tuesday, according to the US Geological Survey, and thousands are without power in its wake. The quake, recorded at 2:34 a.m. PT, was centered in the Pacific just off the coast, about 7.5 miles from the Humboldt County city of Ferndale, the survey said. That’s about a 20-mile drive southwest of Eureka and a 280-mile drive northwest of Sacramento. Most homes and businesses in Humboldt County were without power early Tuesday.
PT – out of 99,000 customers tracked in the county – according to utility tracker PowerOutage.us. The quake spilled a number of items to the floor of Caroline Titus’ Ferndale-area home, video she posted to Twitter shows. “This was a big one. Power is out now. House is a big mess,” Titus wrote. More than a dozen smaller quakes – as powerful as a 4.6 magnitude – struck the area afterward, the survey reported.
