Tsunami Alert Following 7.0 Magnitude Earthquake in California

A 7.0 magnitude earthquake has struck off the coast of Northern California, prompting a tsunami warning for both Northern California and Southern Oregon.


A 7.0 magnitude earthquake occurred off Ferndale, California, with significant damage reported, including chaotic scenes inside buildings as residents cope with extensive aftershocks.

The earthquake, recorded at 1400 ET (9:00 GMT), has left residents in Ferndale reporting devastating scenes. Olivia Cobian, an innkeeper at the Gingerbread Mansion Inn, described the aftermath in her establishment, saying, "the inside looks like a warzone." She noted that large cast iron fireplaces had been displaced, and debris filled the rooms, although she was relieved that no one was present.

As a precautionary measure, a tsunami warning has been issued for the coastal regions of both northern California and southern Oregon. The US Geological Survey confirmed the earthquake's epicenter located near the small city of Ferndale in Humboldt County. While local emergency services have not yet reported widespread damage, multiple aftershocks have been observed since the initial quake, raising concerns about structural integrity in affected areas.

California Governor Gavin Newsom has been informed of the situation and is currently collaborating with state emergency officials to facilitate the disaster response. First responders will typically assess damages to infrastructure, checking buildings and roads for safety after such significant seismic events.

This situation is dynamic and developing; updates will be provided as more information becomes available. Residents are advised to stay informed through official channels as assessments continue.
