Two 5.9 magnitude earthquakes struck the Pacific Ocean off Oregon's coast early Friday morning, the United States Geological Survey (USGS) reported.

The tremors occurred about 89 miles and 98 miles west of the coastal town of Gold Beach, Oregon, after 1 a.m. (PT) Friday morning, according to USGS.
A few people reported light shaking on the coast, the USGS report showed.
      At least five earthquakes ranging in magnitudes from 3.2 to 5.9 have occurred in the area in the last few hours, according to USGS.



      The West coast of the United States, Oregon, has been struck by two noteworthy M5.9 earthquakes spanning about 25 minutes in time, across 13 miles starting from the West going down by five miles, and East by 13 miles.
      This follows the M6.1 in Alaska from May 31, 2021, and the warning issued for new activity coming from that new push out of Alaska.
