Magnitude 6 Quake off California Coast 2/4/2010

Hi folks,

IRIS Seismic Monitor

Early this morning my time, late yesterday your time.

Anyone have reports of this?

I see a 5.9 around 2:20 CST (20:20:22 UTC)

Here's the data from the U.S.G.S.

MAINSHOCK
Magnitude : 5.87 Mw (A moderate quake)
Time : 04 Feb 2010 00:20:22 PM, PST : 04 Feb 2010 20:20:22 GMT
Coordinates : 40 deg. 25.06 min. N, 124 deg. 55.16 min. W : 40.4177 N, 124.9193 W
Depth : 12.6 miles ( 20.2 km)
Quality : Excellent
Location : 33 mi. ( 54 km) W from Petrolia, CA : 47 mi. ( 76 km) WSW from Eureka, CA Event ID : NC 71348851

STRONG AFTERSHOCKS (Magnitude 5 and larger) - At this time (6 hours after the mainshock) the probability of a strong and possibly damaging aftershock IN THE NEXT 7 DAYS is approximately 34 PERCENT
EARTHQUAKES LARGER THAN THE MAINSHOCK - Most likely, the recent mainshock will be the largest in the sequence. However, there is a small chance (APPROXIMATELY 5 TO 10 PERCENT) of an earthquake equal to or larger than this mainshock in the next 7 days.

WEAK AFTERSHOCKS (Magnitude 3 to 5) - In addition, approximately 15 to 40 SMALL AFTERSHOCKS are expected in the same 7-DAY PERIOD and may be felt locally. This probability report is based on the statistics of aftershocks typical for California.
This is not an exact prediction, but only a rough guide to expected aftershock activity. This probability report may be revised as more information becomes available.

This is what the USGS says about it.

Excellent stuff folks thank you for your help. I will read the links provided by you.

I was hoping to find news articles but it seems with no damage there will be no reports in the media?
