There were no immediate reports of injuries or damage but plenty of residents in the area noticed the quake.

"I was sitting outside in a lawn chair and my chair started shaking," Cathy Buchal wrote on kgw.com. "I told my husband that I thought we had just had an earthquake, but he didn't believe me."
