COOS BAY, Ore. (AP) — The National Earthquake Information Center reports a 4.6 magnitude earthquake Wednesday evening in the Pacific Ocean nearly 200 miles west-northwest of Coos Bay, Ore.
Geophysicist Dale Grant says the Golden, Colo.-based center has received no reports that the quake was felt or caused any damage.
He says such quakes are routine in that area, known as the Cascadia Gap. It’s part of a region known as the Juan de Fuca Plate.
