5.4 quake shakes Northern California area

A 5.4-magnitude earthquake struck the northern region of New Year’s Day California where a stronger quake nearly two weeks ago killed two people and left widespread damage, authorities said.

The quake struck at 10:35 a.m. Sunday about 9 miles (14 kilometers) southeast of Rio Dell in Humboldt County, according to the US Geological Survey.

A dispatcher with the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office said there were no reports of injuries or damage from Sunday’s shaking so far.

Rio Dell was the epicenter of a magnitude 6.4 earthquake on December 20 that killed two people, injured more than a dozen, ripped homes from their foundations, damaged water systems and knocked out power for thousands of people.
