Partial building Collapse and evacuations happening via Police Scanner...
Must be chaos with all this, now that’s it’s dark!
Just as long as the storage facility at the (formerly-nuclear) Humboldt Bay power station doesn’t get all wee-wee’d up. They still have spent fuel stored there, and that station was one of very few, if any other, US power plants without a containment vessel.

We were going to go check out the Sea Lions up at the SL Caves but they are not WC Accessible.
Glad I checked their site before going.
Dissappointment not a good thing and there is not allot else to do indoor wise this time of year in the area.
Thank you!! Glad they are ok.
I just hate those damn things. Ya never know when it will happen.
The area people need to watchful for a tsunami. One in the ‘60s wiped out Crescent city.
Yes and the gas and propane leaks are the worst danger they face at the moment from reports I’ve seen
If there was a tsunami, it would have hit long ago. There obviously wasn’t one, and there was no tsunami warning because the quake was far, far below the typical tsunamigenic magnitude.
I just checked the tsunami website there are no warnings issued. Thank God
Just came into KATU tv news Portland and no tsunami.

"It was huge one of the biggest earthquakes we've had up here in 20 years," said Judd Starks, the kitchen manager at a bar and restaurant known as The Alibi. "The whole town is kind of freaked out right now. All the power is out, people are out walking around.
Two good shakes and "silicon valley" and this is what I thought of...
Thanks for thinking of me I’m fine - I’m in Texas.
