4.3 quake 16 Jan 10:25 pm (GMT -8)

The United States Geological Survey (USGS) reported a magnitude 4.3 quake in the United States near Eureka, Humboldt County, California, only 8 minutes ago. The earthquake hit late at night on Saturday 16 January 2021 at 10:25 pm local time at a very shallow depth of 2.7 miles. The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the quake might be revised within the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their report.
A second report was later issued by the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), which listed it as a magnitude 4.3 earthquake as well.
Towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Ferndale (pop. 1,400) located 54 miles from the epicenter, Fortuna (pop. 12,000) 59 miles away, Pine Hills (pop. 3,100) 62 miles away, and Eureka (pop. 27,000) 63 miles away.
