A 5.9 magnitude earthquake struck off the Oregon Coast Wednesday night, according to U.S. Geological Survey.
The earthquake occurred at 8:13 p.m. It hit at approximately 144 miles west of Coos Bay, and 172 southwest of Newport. It occurred at a depth of approximately 6.2 miles below the ocean's surface.
Meanwhile, a powerful earthquake jolted Indonesia's popular resort island of Bali on Wednesday, causing widespread panic and injuring at least 50 people, many with broken bones and head wounds.
The walls of some temples along the coast crumbled, and witnesses told local radio and television stations the roofs of some homes collapsed.
The USGS said the 6.0-magnitude quake was centered 60 miles southwest of the island. It hit 36 miles beneath the ocean floor.
