A tsunami warning for parts of the U.S. West Coast was canceled after a 7.0 magnitude earthquake struck early Thursday. The tremor generated a warning for over 5 million people in California, prompting officials to urge residents to move inland. The earthquake's epicenter was near the coast of Humboldt County, California.
The National Weather Service has cancelled its tsunami warning for the U.S. West Coast after a 7.0 magnitude earthquake struck early Thursday.
At least 5.3 million people in California were under a tsunami warning after the magnitude 7.0 earthquake, the U.S. Geological Survey said in a yellow alert, which predicts localized but minimal damage. More than 1.3 million people lived close enough to the quake that they could have felt it, the USGS estimated.
The National Weather Service urged residents along the Northern California coastline, including in the San Francisco Bay Area, to move inland due to the threat of a possible tsunami. A wave could reach the San Francisco coastline as early as 12:10 p.m., according to Rachel Kennedy, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service’s office that covers the Bay Area.
“We lost a lot of stuff. It’s probably worse than two years ago. I have to go, I have to try and salvage something for the holidays because it’s going to be a tough year,” Kreitzer said before hanging up. Throughout Northern California phones buzzed with a tsunami warning from the National Weather Service that said: “A series of powerful waves and strong currents may impact coasts near you. You are in danger. Get away from coastal waters. Move to high ground or inland now. Keep away from the coast until local officials say it is safe to return.” The Shopping Trends team is independent of the journalists at CTV News.
