The U.S. Geological Survey is reporting an earthquake with a preliminary 5.7-magnitude struck off the Northern California coast early Friday afternoon.
The quake struck at 1:50 p.m. about 36 miles west of Ferndale, Calif., and had a depth of 4.6 kilometers.
Justin Pressfield, a spokesperson for the USGS, said few residents in nearby Eureka have reported feeling the temblor.
“It was certainly not widely felt,” Pressfield said.
