Magnitude 5.3 quake rumbles off Oregon coast



A magnitude 5.3 earthquake struck off the Oregon coast Wednesday morning, officials said.
At 8 a.m., the earthquake shook about 175 miles west of Reedsport, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. The quake was likely too far offshore for any shaking to be felt on land.
The temblor occurred at a depth of nearly 9 miles in what is known as the Blanco Fracture Zone, an area of frequent seismic activity.
