California Earthquake

Just on the noon new, earthquake about 200 miles north of San Francisco. It was very shallow and now San Francisco is under Tsumani warning. This could be very serious!

Does anyone in the area have additional information?

12:58pm. They just announced Tsumani warning was canceled. Thank God!

I'm in northern CA and didn't know thanks. My grandson is here so we have cartoons on.

I hope everything will be okay. Whenever I have visited that area, I was always nervous.

One of these days....makes me shudder. That area is over a major fault line.

I was in Thailand not too long after they had a tsunami in 2004. Young Prince Poom Jensen was killed while on a jet ski.

When I visited the palace, they had his casket there for mourners to pay their respects. We were not allowed to stand up and had to bend while walking to be in that room. We were not allowed to be taller than the casket.

If you wanted to get close ( I didn't) you had to crawl on your knees or squat down and walk in the position to get beyond a certain point.

Those tsunamis are dangerous and cause a lot of destruction. I hope I never see or hear of one again.

Now being reported as a 7.0 off the coast, very shallow quake. Tsunami warning all along the coast. Telling people get away from the coasts, don't go sightseeing, no fishing, that kind of thing. Lots of coverage and conflicting info. Quite a few mandatory evacuations.

@Kachina624,

Thank you so much for letting us know!

I live in the SF Bay Area. Tsunami warning came throughh to go to higher ground. High waves should hit around 12:15pm. My DD lives on an island in the SF Bay and she has left her home for higher ground. I live about 2 blocks from the SF Bay, just south of my DD, and will leave if necessary. The shaking, in my area, was slight. However, people in SF felt it stronger. The earthquake was about 45 miles south of Eureka and about 240 miles north of me. I am just south of Oakland, CA so not far from SF. The quake was offshore which makes the Tsunami more probable, hence all the warnings and phone alarms. 7.0 is a major earthquake - it's big and it's scary. I was here for the '89 earthquake and that was a 7.1.

It was just announced on the news that the Tsunami warning as been rescinded. Whew!

@SportyShorty07 - Know you are in SF. Check in and let us know all is ok? Did you feel the quake? I did where I am but just slightly.

@Wsmom

Surfers love that kind of weather. Nuts.
