'Major' Quake Off Coast Triggers Tsunami Warning











CRESCENT CITY, Calif. -- A tsunami warning is in effect for the Oregon, Washington and California coasts after an earthquake was recorded off the Northern California Coast.
The U.S. Geological Survey reports that a major earthquake hit at 7:50:54 p.m. 91 miles west/southwest of Crescent City. The hypocentral depth was 6.2 miles. The magnitude was recorded at 7.0.

The National Weather Service told KOIN News 6 that a precautionary tsunami warning was issued. The agency said that if the quake generated a tsunami, it would hit shore before 8:45 p.m.
KCBS Radio reports that residents of Crescent City were evacuated, as were people in Gold Beach, Ore., just north of the California border.

The warning was in effect from the California/Mexico border to Vancouver Island, Canada.

More to come.

[Thesifer]

Cancelled


I coulda sworn I posted on this Thread earlier.. did I accidentally post to the wrong thread? :eek3:

[Gothic Girl]

I guess they just cancelled it. Whew!

[brainsmile]

Tsunami warning cancelled; no reports of damage

[kimchicowboy]

i didn't feel nothing in the san francisco area.

[ooBaKeep]

Here is a good website for earthquake information.

recent earthquake activity (http://quake.wr.usgs.gov/recenteqs/latest.htm)

Good luck to all those affected by this, be careful and be smart.

[ooBaKeep]

I guess they just cancelled it. Whew!

I'm not taking any chances. I am blowing up the raft and grabbing my rubber ducky! :faint:

[Freelance Superhero]

i'm in sacramento and i didn't feel a thing... saw the tsunami warning on the telly and it made me mildly uneasy, but not for my own safety (i'm too far inland for it to affect me). glad it seems to have been a false alarm...

thanks for the concern, but we're all safe and sound here in socal.

[Rawperro]

Well, this is a first for me!! Never heard of a tsunami warning in Cali and thankfully it was cancelled.

Also its kind of freaky how all of these earthquakes have occurred during this short time and they also bring memories of that horrible 94' Northridge quake.

Hope all you cali folks are safe and hopefully these quakes stop!! I think we had enough for this year

[bachviet]

False alarm...

I didn't feel a thing either.

[chrissy]

I should really talk donnie into buying a house here in Vegas. Even if we don't want to live here forever...

[Kevster]

I was near there about a week ago - that is, I was in the vicinity of Weed and Dunsmuir from that map. If I remember correctly, that is in the Punta Gorda plate zone. They have earthquakes there all the time. It occurred over 90 miles away from Crescent City, so I'd be surprised if it caused any damage at all.

As for the Tsunami warning, we have our Tsunami klaxons tested here every day at noon in Hermosa Beach (the beach closest to me - about 1.5 miles) and I can hear them from my house.

I know I have posted this before, but I'll post it again - the list of all earthquakes in California and Nevada. I look at this list every day.

[Mike_N_Ike]

Hahah, I thought I was dreaming last night when the cable company started flashing tsunami warnings...

[molecularfire]

I'm not taking any chances. I am blowing up the raft and grabbing my rubber ducky! :faint:
I really hope you meant that literally... :spock:

[ShawnLee]

Yeah... I wish I knew it were cancelled. My friend and I were at the beach waiting with my digital camera. Oh well... I can't complain, I mean, I'm not dead, right?

[riskykougra]

Wow see thats why I am gladly going to settle for the freezing cold winters...I dont even live in the states and was afraid for all of you. I'm just too much of a wimp when it comes to natural disasters I guess...and I should know...I was married to one. LMAO :heh:

[zippyjuan]

I just now felt another one as I am sitting at my computer checking out Got Apex.

[hapoo]

yep same here

sad part is that the first thing that comes to your mind is "lemme go post about this on GA"

A moderate earthquake occurred at 1:53:25 PM (PDT) on Thursday, June 16, 2005.
The magnitude 5.3 event occurred 5 km (3 miles) NE of Yucaipa, CA.
The hypocentral depth is 12 km ( 8 miles).

[Showtime]

:stupid:

I'm in Anaheim and a big truck was driving past my window so it took me a second to realize that it was a small quake.

[Kevster]

WhoooooHooooo!!!! A whole lotta shakin' goin' on!

That was a 5.3 in Yucaipa (near Redlands).

Airencracken just had a fun ride!



Edit: It is also on a different fault than the one that occured near Palm Springs on Sunday.

[Showtime]

Cell service is down, but woohoo, the internet is still going.

[zippyjuan]

I can't believe how quick they (and you) got the information up! That was within just a few minutes! I figured it would take time to get the data in and have somebody post it. Maybe they have an automated system.

[Gothic Girl]

Yep, I felt it too. I was lying on the couch and got a good little leg massage!

[Kevster]

I can't believe how quick they (and you) got the information up! That was within just a few minutes! I figured it would take time to get the data in and have somebody post it. Maybe they have an automated system.

The USGS has a very large seismic network in California. They have a large regional network spanning the 5 county area of Los Angeles/Ventura/San Bernadino/Riverside/Orange counties. They also have other regional networks like Long Valley Caldera (Mammoth Lakes), along the San Andreas fault (Hollister, King City and Parkfield especially), The San Francisco Bay Area, Lake Tahoe/Reno area, Lassen/Shasta Volcanic areas, and the Humboldt/Eureka area (Punta Gorda - where the 7.2 was recorded off the coast).

[zippyjuan]

Seems to be a lot of activity lately. Just a series or building to something bigger? Hopefully not!

[Gothic Girl]

I was just thinking the same exact thing Zippy.

[Mommypooh]

I would so like be totally flipping out. I don't even handle severe thunderstroms well.

[Jenny]

:heh: I got an IM from ShawnLee & from ray, both said, "Earthquake!"
hahaha

[ooBaKeep]

We have several earthquakes each day in the state. It is interesting how many larger quakes we have had and this one has had over 20 aftershocks within 40 minutes.

I wonder if I have time to get my redcross kit? :stupid:

[zippyjuan]

Vons has some for sale.

[baggio248]

According to the USGS map, within the last week from Barstow south to San Diego there has been appoximately 520 earthquakes.

I am declaring myself ruler of whatever island I end up on. :thumbup:

[Kevster]

I have had a complete earthquake kit since Northridge. Merlin liked how I had a box of water (a box of 8oz freshwater packets for marine use).

[brainsmile]

Oh my gosh, please stay safe!I'll hurry down to the beach and let you know if I see a wave coming

[oogeooge]

buy as many houses as you can in CA now. CA will now be an island! Island properties cost $$$

[Showtime]

CA property is already above island property value. I just want to know where the next beach front properties are going to be located.
