The have been no immediate reports of injuries or damages, but officials ensured a tsunami was not expected to form in the Pacific Ocean. The tremor occurred in the Blanco Fracture Zone (BFZ), deemed more active than California's San Andreas Fault. Harold Tobin, director of the Pacific Northwest Seismic Network, shared on Facebook: 'This is a very typical mag[nitude] 6 earthquake in the Blanco Transform fault, very far offshore of Oregon. 'We see at least one such earthquake nearly every year.' The tremor occurred at a depth of about six miles, and light-to-medium shaking was probably felt throughout parts of western Oregon and northern California. |
