A magnitude 6.2 earthquake has been reported off the coast of Eureka, in Northern California.
The earthquake struck at around 12.10pm local time at a depth of 5.8 miles, and it was confirmed by the National Weather Service that a tsunami is not expected following the quake. Some households reported minor damage, mainly due to falling objects.
“Numerous small aftershocks are being recorded,” said the Humboldt County Office of Emergency Services on Monday.
The quake was felt in coastal communities in the area like the town of Ferndale, where food wobbled off of the shelves in the Valley Grocery store.
“Valley Grocery moments after quake,” said local journalist Caroline Titus, posting a picture on Twitter of the damage. “Owner said ten volunteers showed up and helped cleanup. Store now back open.”
Geologists at the California Geological Survey in San Francisco, nearly 300 miles to the south, also reported feeling the earthquake.
