Original version of story posted below

A magnitude 6.4 earthquake hit off the Oregon coast at 5:37 p.m. Wednesday.

The epicenter was about 150 miles west of Winchester Bay, at an estimated depth of about 6 miles.

The West Coast and Alaska Tsunami Warning Center has stated that they do not expect a tsunami as a result of the quake. The statement was posted as follows.

"At 5:37 PM Pacific Standard Time on January 9, an earthquake with preliminary magnitude 6.4 occurred off the coast of Oregon.

The magnitude is such that a tsunami IS NOT EXPECTED. However, in coastal areas of intense shaking, locally generated tsunamis can be triggered by underwater landslides. This will be the only WCATWC message issued for this event.

The location and magnitude are based on preliminary information. Further information will be issued by the United States Geological Survey or the appropriate regional seismic network." Source: West Coast and Alaska Tsunami Information

Here in Louisiana, we didn't hear much about this in our news reports - thanks for letting us know - so that we can lift our Oregon Recovery Family up in prayers!

Please be safe,
