PORTLAND, Oregon, July 28 (Reuters) – A moderate earthquake of 5.3 magnitude shook the sea off the Oregon coast on Wednesday morning, the U.S. Geological Survey said, but there were no initial reports of casualties or damage.
The quake’s epicenter was 85 miles west-northwest of the port town of Coos Bay on the state’s southern coast, at a depth of six miles, the USGS said.
There was no immediate warning of any tsunami from the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center.
The quake was not felt in Oregon’s biggest city, Portland, residents said, and was not big enough to generate a tsunami.
