Update: 2 Quakes Rattle Off The North Coast Of California

EUREKA, Calif. (AP) –  Two large earthquakes rocked the North Coast of California Thursday morning, both measuring 5.0 or larger, in less than one hour. There were no immediate reports of damage from the quakes Thursday in the Pacific Ocean. The USGS reported that the 1st quake struck at 8:39AN PST at a depth of 3 miles. The second earthquake was reported at 9:24AM and measured a 5.1 magnitude. The epicenter was 57 miles west-southwest of Eureka.  John Bellini, a seismologist with USGS, says the area is an active seismic region but quakes there are rarely felt because they are so far from the coast. The Ferndale Enterprise reported on Twitter that the rolling quake was felt in Ferndale, a city in Humboldt County. Bellini says more than 100 people reported on the USGS website that they felt the quake.
