The National Weather Service said Monday afternoon no tsunami was expected following the earthquake.
The U.S. Geological Survey said there was a low likelihood of damage and casualties following the earthquake. Caroline Titus, a contributing editor to the Ferndale Enterprise, told KCBS Radio it was "definitely" an earthquake that caught local residents' attention but didn't do much more than cosmetic damage.
Ferndale police officials told Titus no injuries were reported.
