5.9 quake rumbles Northern California coast

The U.S. Geological Survey said the temblor — originally reported at magnitude 6.0 — occurred at 12:20 p.m., about 47 miles west southwest of Eureka.

Items fell from walls and shelves, but there were no reports of major damage.

Officials say the quake was not strong enough to trigger a tsunami.

Humboldt County spokesman Phil Smith-Hanes says he felt a rolling sensation, but the movement didn't feel as severe as the magnitude 6.5 quake that struck off the coast last month about 18 miles away.

The larger temblor Jan. 9 caused more than $40 million in damage and one serious injury — an elderly woman who fell and broke her hip.

Thursday's quake was felt as far south as San Francisco, east to Redding and north to Grants Pass, Ore.
