UPDATE:
Minor damage has been reported from this evening’s magnitude-5.6 earthquake that struck southwest of Petrolia in areas of Southern Humboldt County, including Garberville and Redway.
The Shop Smart in Redway is currently closed while employees clean up damage to the store’s inventory and Ray’s Food Place in Garberville is only allowing customers in one at a time. “Just be patient with us,” said store employee Jacque Harmon. “We’ve got a lot of broken glass. It looks like maybe $300 worth of damage.”
PREVIOUSLY:
A magnitude 5.6 earthquake struck southwest of Petrolia shortly before 9 p.m. sending rumbles throughout the county.
There is no tsunami danger from the quake, according to the federal warning system.
According to the U.S. Geological Survey, the quake hit at 8:53 p.m. with a depth of just less than 6 miles, about 3 miles southwest of Petrolia.
The numbers are preliminary and subject to change. Track the latest information on the temblor here.
