PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) - A pair of earthquakes were recorded about 250 miles off the Oregon coast after similar quakes in the same undersea area.
A 4.0 magnitude earthquake struck at a depth of 10 miles under the ocean west of Yachats just after 6 p.m. Friday, followed 10 minutes later by a 4.7 magnitude quake. Officials said the quakes were not large enough to pose any tsunami danger. The U.S. Geological Survey said five other quakes hit the same area and depth in the past three days.
