EUREKA, Calif. (AP) - Officials are still working on damage estimates from a powerful earthquake that struck Humboldt County over the weekend. So far, the city of Eureka says it has racked up more than $14 million in damage.
Gary Bird, spokesman for the largest Northern California city affected by Saturday's magnitude-6.5 quake, says the estimate is now up to $14.3 million and covers 175 buildings.
Officials still don't have a damage estimate for the whole county.
The temblor, which hit offshore about 27 miles southwest of Eureka, sent about 30 people to emergency rooms but only one was seriously injured - an elderly person who fell and suffered a broken hip.
