Since Bandon is on the coast, 140 miles east of Bandon would put the quake that far inland not in the ocean so most likely would not cause a tsu8nami.. actully at that point not too far from where I live..

The USGS website shows it being west of the coast.

As always, wondering where this is in relation to the subduction zone...
