Second earthquake in 2 days rumbles deep under the Pacific off Oregon coast

BANDON Ore. (KPTV) - A second earthquake in two days was recorded Saturday off the coast of Oregon.

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) reported Saturday afternoon’s quake was a 5.1 magnitude, about 140 miles west of Bandon, Oregon.

On Friday, a 5.9 magnitude earthquake was recorded off the coast .

These types of quakes in this area are fairly common and scientists say there’s no threat of a tsunami and no danger to anyone on land or at sea. Because the quakes are too far under the ocean’s surface to have an effect on people.
