On June 14, 2005 at 7:50 p.m. PDT a 7.2 magnitude quake struck off the coast of Northern California West of Trinidad, California.

The earthquake was strong enough to generate a Tsunami Warning for the coastal areas from the California-Mexico border to the North tip of Vancouver Island, British Columbia.
