Langlois, OR – A 3.2 magnitude earthquake struck 181 kilometers west of Langlois, Oregon, Wednesday afternoon, according to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). The quake, centered offshore, occurred at a depth of 10 kilometers.
The tremor was recorded at 8:30 a.m. Pacific Time. No damage or injuries have been reported, and only one individual submitted a “Did You Feel It?” response. Despite its minor magnitude, the quake underscores the region’s seismic activity, as the area lies near the Cascadia Subduction Zone.
Experts encourage residents to remain vigilant and prepared for larger seismic events. Emergency officials recommend having a disaster kit and practicing evacuation plans, particularly for those in coastal areas vulnerable to tsunamis.
The USGS continues to monitor seismic activity along the Pacific Northwest. Scientists frequently study minor quakes like this to understand regional tectonic movements.
No tsunami threat was issued following the earthquake. Langlois and surrounding communities remain calm but aware of potential future events.
