An employee at the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office says there are no immediate reports of major injuries or damage. Humboldt County spokesman Phil Smith-Hanes says he felt a rolling sensation, but the movement didn’t feel as severe as the magnitude-6.5 quake that struck the same area Jan. 9.

The National Weather Service said no tsunami was generated or expected along the West Coast. Scientists said aftershocks from the quake were likely to occur over the next several days.
