I've been in so many quakes I can tell you the magnitude.

Got to go outside and survey the damage if any!

Can you say aftershocks?

M 7.0 - 99 km WSW of Ferndale, California

************

I had that baby nailed!

Thanks for the update!

Be safe!

(I grew up there...)

Hope everybody will be okay. I know it takes a while for all the info to come in.

Might pissed she is today!

Named my late cat after her.

His name was Mr. Andy (aka "Andreas" ).

...in Lower Lake.

We didn't feel a thing.

Wowza

The dogs suddenly began barking a lot just now.

More to come?

I wonder if anyone will call me?

ANYONE?



So sad.

hope you'll stay safe

Cats are still scared as all hell.

House seems to be ok!

Haven't gone out.

Some awhole has their generator running for some reason!

hoping it isn't pushing as much water as vertical movement but boats over it are rocking and rolling so get away to higher ground

Holy sh*t!

Telling people to get away from the coast. Big waters on the way.

S.F. is in the crossroads.

*********

I am not at sea level luckily! Yikes!

Just west of the San Andreas fault

Thanks to poster above w radio station

Friends in SF are going to the shore to experience them.

Hope they're safe.

Hopefully, it won't strike them.

Seriously!

...north of Napa and we didn't feel anything.

Supposed to hit at 12:10

Evacuate if you are at 100 feet or lower.

I happen to be at 141 feet above sea level.

I don't know what I can do!

We shall see.

Oh noes! Think of the buds!

2 mg.

Period!

There is a lighthouse along the route, about 5 miles south of the mouth of the Mattole River.

Well I hope so anyway, have not been there for forty years.

We used to go to the Reggae festival on the Eel River around the same time, it wasn't far from that area as I remember.

Experienced many earthquakes.

Waves of over 5 inches are predicted.

And that it was a strike-slip fault, less likely than subduction to produce a Tsunami.

A few have been in the 4-5 Richter Scale range. I'm about 200 miles away, so we didn't feel anything.

I just talked to my "son from another mother" as he's working in San Francisco. He didn't even feel it. I don't know how close he is to where the tsunami may be coming and was frantic to reach him.

Now I have to call my friend even further north and make sure she's okay.

earthquakes are terrifying. Born and raised in LA so I've been through some. Stay safe!!

ETA he just texted me the tsunami warning was canceled according to Apple News

In Eureka, CA. We love the Pacific NW and have spent the last 10+ years in the month July exploring from Seattle south to San Francisco. I’ve surfed in Oregon and we’ve visited Ferndale, my wife lives the Victorian Style homes. We also drove to Shelter Cove on the Lost Coast. Beautiful. A resident told me he lost count of the number of earthquakes.

We had just arrived at the hotel in Eureka when we heard what sounded like a bolt of lightning followed by a shudder. I looked it up and it was a 4.5.

Love the area and hope there was no damage to property or people.

After a 7.0 quake slammed into Humboldt County and surrounding areas at 10:44 this morning and, as of this posting, 58 aftershocks (larger that 2.5 with the largest magnitude 4.7) followed, the damage, though painful for many residents and businesses, was surprisingly limited given the quake’s magnitude.

Fortunately, no injuries have been reported and power is on to most PG&E customers.

However, Governor Gavin Newsom declared a state of emergency not only for Humboldt County but also for Del Norte and Mendocino Counties
