Several early morning earthquakes have shaken California's far northern coastal region. But authorities haven't received any reports of damage or injuries from the jolts. The U.S. Geological Survey says a magnitude 4.8 quake struck beneath wilderness about 34 miles south of the city of Eureka at 3:20 a.m. It was followed by a magnitude 4.1 offshore quake at 3:31 a.m. about 18 miles west-southwest of Eureka. Two smaller quakes also occurred on- and offshore. Humboldt County has about 136,000 residents and is in a part of the state that has a long history of large earthquakes, including a destructive magnitude 6.4 quake in December 2022.
