Appears to be on the edge of the Continental Shelf. I take it the San Andreas runs through there?

Best,

Chris

Hang in there, FRiend. Hope all is well. I rode through the big ones back in the early 90s there.

I remember they got hit hard once before, I think in the ‘90s but could have been ‘80s.

Far enough offshore (prelim location) based on the USGS shakemap that there really shouldn’t be much damage. not a really populated area anyway.

Of course, too small to generate a tsunami except for the very rare underwater landslide variety.

Appears to have a strike-slip mechanism, so this is part of the complex faulting around the Mendocino Triple Junction, not on the southern end of the Cascadia subduction zone, hence, unlikely to be a foreshock of a much larger subduction quake.
