The Humboldt Bay area was rocked by a nice-sized earthquake at about 4:45 this afternoon. Preliminary reports put it at 6.5 on the Richter scale. Epicenter was about 24 miles west of Humboldt Hill. Power is out at least as far as Blue Lake, but it’s on in parts of Eureka

That doesn’t sound right. Most of Eureka is not all that low-lying.

It’s the Samoa (Calif.) part that would be under tsunami threat, if this had been a bigger quake.
