A "notable" 6.4-magnitude earthquake struck the northern coast of California early Tuesday, the U.S. Geological Survey said
Preliminary data placed the center of the quake along the Pacific coast about 7.5 miles away from Ferndale, California
A tsunami wasn't expected, according to the U.S. National Tsunami Warning Center, which reported the quake at a preliminary magnitude of 6.1.
More than 71,000 customers -- about 72% of those in Humboldt County -- had lost power as of about 4:45 a.m. local time
The sheriff's office also said there was "widespread" damage to roads and homes throughout Humboldt County, including the Fernbridge in Ferndale.
There were at least two injuries in the county, both from falls, a spokesperson for the sheriff's office said.
