US officials briefly issued a tsunami warning after a big earthquake off the northern California coast before saying the immediate danger had passed.
There were no immediate reports of damage or injuries. A 7.0 magnitude earthquake hit at 7.50pm local time (1250 AEST today) 146km west of Crescent City, California, a rugged coastal community hit by a deadly tsunami in 1964.
Emergency officials initially issued a warning that a tsunami could hit anywhere from California up to Canada, but then lifted that warning.
The risk of a tsunami hitting at this point is gone," California Emergency Services spokesman Eric Lamoureux said.
LOL! Love it!
I'm no map reader but that don't look good...
I watch this seismograph in Utah that seems pretty sensitive to earthquakes all over the world. It shakes pretty much if there is a 6.0 or higher any place.
We are probably 400-600 miles from the center of this one, so it isn't suprising it loks so big.
Awww, how cute ;)
