"No tsunami danger presently exists for this area," the National Tsunami Warning Center said Thursday.

While a tsunami is certainly a possibility for a quake that size, a quake way-up-there ain’t gonna cause as much damage and death as one on the Hayward, San Andreas or Calaveras faults.
I hope the people in Ferndale, Fortuna etc. fared well.
I’m wondering how bad the aftershocks could get
Yeah, you’re right! It might not be over yet!
🎼That’ll be the day I go back to Annandale....
Yes, it was a deep quake. Actually the size is not uncommon for the area either.
Thanks for the reminder
I had to bookmark that video because despite it being parody, there is much truth to it.
It took the entire nation, contributing its fruits and nuts, to make California what it is today!
As a Californian, that has always been my contention.
The parallel are the migrant hordes streaming across our southern border!
My Grandma said California gets the earth shakes because the people there pushed Jesus out of their lives.
Grandma’s right, of course!
Biden to send billions to Ukraine and Africa

Whole lotta shakin goin on?
Indications are it was a strike slip event.
Not a subduction.
7.0 is big for a strike slip or side slip event.
Darn it.
Hmmmn. I just looked at the USGS earthquake site again. No such earthquake is displayed.
Doesn’t mean it didn’t happen. But no such Mag 7 quake is displayed 2 minutes ago.
No. Not true.
A Mag 8 earthquake trips off of the BC-Washington-Oregon-North CA coast every 350 years. A larger Mag 9 quake offshore trips every 560 years. The last was Jan 30 1703. Which caused a tsunami that destroyed villages in Japan too.
Our electricity blinked off a couple of times and I got a loud screechy earthquake alert on phone. I tried searching and could find NOTHING except EQs off the coast of Petrolia CA, and they weren’t even big. Thanks for the ping. OR is due for “the big one” when/if Juan de Fuca blows, it will be ... highly interesting. Does roughly every 300 years. overdue now.
My comment above was wrong - Freepers reported the Mag 7 quake before the USGS earthquake map did!
Can you tell me what side slip and strike slip are? I know about subduction. I live in SW Or about 10 miles from the CA border and didn’t really feel anything but electricity blinked a few times.
All the USGS site shows are many smaller EQs. Is USGS lying? I have no idea.
