A 6.4 magnitude earthquake struck Northern California’s Eureka area early Tuesday (local time), the US Geological Survey said, injuring at least two people, cutting off power, and damaging some buildings and a roadway, officials said, reported CNN.
The jolt shook residents off their sleep and left tens of thousands without electricity.
The epicentre of the quake, which struck at 2:34 a.m. PT, was in the Pacific about 15 miles from Fortuna, a city of about 12,000 people in Humboldt County, part of California’s forested Redwood Coast. Fortuna is near Eureka and about a 280-mile drive northwest of Sacramento, reported CNN.
