Towns or cities where a light shaking might have been felt include Scotia (pop. 850) located 16 miles from the epicenter, Rio Dell (pop. 3,400) 17 miles away, Fortuna (pop. 12,000) 21 miles away, and Humboldt Hill (pop. 3,400) 29 miles away, Eureka (pop. 27,000) located 34 miles from the epicenter, Bayside (pop. 17,100) 39 miles away, Arcata (pop. 17,800) 40 miles away, and McKinleyville (pop. 15,200) 45 miles away.
