BREAKING: 7.0 magnitude earthquake strikes Northern California - USGS

[putnam6]

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.

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
