No Tsunami Threat From Oregon Earthquake - Salem-News.Com: "There was a big rumble out in the ocean this morning. The 5.9 magnitude earthquake struck about 112 miles west of Port Orford, at 7:44 AM PT. Luckily, it didn't cause enough of a stir to set off tsunami warnings in Oregon's coastal towns.
The quake was a depth of 6.2 miles, according to Angel Gutierrez, a geophysicist with the U.S.Geological Survey in Golden, Colorado. The USGS initially put the quake at 6.0 magnitude."
