Magnitude 4.3 Earthquake in Oregon Felt Across Parts of Washington

A magnitude 4.3 earthquake struck northeastern Oregon late Monday night, with residents in parts of southeast Washington also reporting shaking.

According to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), the earthquake occurred around 11:42 p.m. on November 9, approximately 12 miles east-southeast of Joseph, Oregon, in the Wallowa National Forest.

The earthquake was relatively shallow, with a reported depth of approximately 1.5 miles.

By Tuesday morning, more than 60 people had submitted reports indicating they felt the shaking.

Geologists say earthquakes below magnitude 5.0 generally cause little to no significant structural damage, although the effects can vary depending on location and ground conditions.

Residents who experienced the shaking can submit reports through the USGS website to help scientists understand the earthquake's impact.
