6.2 quake, aftershock hit off Oregon coast
An earthquake and aftershock were reported early Wednesday off the coast of south-central Oregon.
The U.S. Geological Survey says an initial quake with a preliminary magnitude of 6.2 struck just after 1:30 a.m., more than 170 miles west of Coos Bay, about 220 miles southwest of Portland.
Robert Sanders of the USGS said there is no tsunami threat associated with the quake. He says people as far away as Portland reported feeling the temblor.
Coos Bay police dispatchers said there have been no reports of damage or injury.
The quake was located at a depth of about 6 miles.
About two hours later, an aftershock with a preliminary magnitude of 3.5 struck the area.
