BREAKING: 6.6 magnitude earthquake strikes Northern California - USGS

Without looking at your source I'm going to guess it happened near Eureka near the Mendocino Triple Junction of the Pacific, North American, and Gorda plate...

A 6.5+ happens there every 2 or 3 years.

ETA: That's on the bigger end, but nothing new under the sun for that area... Hope everyone is okay.

I'm having trouble finding coverage of it... (probably because - no TV)


Humboldt County earthquake shakes Bay Area Thursday morning

(KRON) — An earthquake that struck Humboldt County in Northern California was felt in the Bay Area Thursday morning. The quake was a preliminary magnitude of 6.6, according to the United States Geological Survey. However, the USGS later revised that magnitude to 7.0.

The epicenter was about 42 miles west-southwest of Ferndale and 54 miles west-southwest of Eureka. The National Weather Service has issued a tsunami warning as a result of the quake.

Bay Area Rapid Transit announced that BART service in the Transbay Tube was halted in all directions in response to the quake.

There are no preliminary reports of damage or injuries as a result of the quake.

You are indeed correct

I can't remember where the hot spots are, just that PNW is generally overdue. 

But I always watch because my daughter and her husband are north of Portland, it did trigger a now lapsed tsunami warning

Live monitoring.  There seems to be human involvement in the channel not just automated stuff so good one to check.
