USGS records small earthquake Sunday west of Bandon

A 4.7-magnitude earthquake was recorded Sunday evening off the southern Oregon coast.

The earthquake occurred at 5:49 p.m. about 196 miles west of Bandon at a depth of just over 6 miles, according to the United States Geological Survey. There were no reports that anyone on land felt it.

The quake occurred along the Blanco Fracture Zone, a system of “strike-slip faults” off Cape Blanco in southern Oregon.

Earthquakes of magnitude 4.0 to 4.9 are considered “light.”  A series of smaller earthquakes had been occurring along the northern California coast the previous few days.
