[im10ashus]

[helderheid]

[Cleita]

2. Here's a link.

It was off the coast of Eureka, way north of San Francisco, but it was a 7.4 magnitude. That's a biggie.

5. San Fran here...didn't feel a thing

I believe it was off the coast some distance and they've issued a Tsunami warning for the entire West Coast, which may be routine.

[im10ashus]

6. Just got a hold of my friend in San Fran.

He didn't feel a thing either.

[helderheid]

7. glad to hear you got through

I can't find anything on it on the teevee

[aquart]

9. It was on the 11 pm news in NYC.

Can't remember which network.

[EFerrari]

10. I didn' t feel anything and if there's a tsunami warning, I'd sure

like to know -- two blocks from the SF beach. :(

[im10ashus]

13. So is my friend Jon!

There IS a tsunami warning.

[EFerrari]

24. They called it off. I went out to look and the streetcar is running

the hotels are open -- one restaurant closed.

But, this is California. We don't know if this is the beginning or the end. So, how do they know to call off the warning? There was just a 7.3 aftershock. :(

here is a link to usgs
http://quake.wr.usgs.gov/waveforms/helicorder/index.html
you can see the drum recorder read out and see a list of recent
earthquakes with details...

[LunaC]

29. Um....it was 91 mi WSW of Crescent City, CA

That's not "centered" If it was centered in Crescent City the town would be decimated and it would be all over the news.

[eleny]

14. Weather channel reported that people should get off the beaches

[im10ashus]

15. After the December tsunami...

...why is the MSM NOT picking this up. There's Lou Dobbs, yammering away, as usual. Could they break in and give an update? Hell no! The earthquake isn't a celebrity driving an SUV. Damn.

[Hissyspit]

20. 9:26 p.m. possible waves on S.F. beaches, says Weather Channel

Doesn't mean there will be any, but that is what they are warning

7.0 magnitude, according to them; epicenter offshore near Eureka.

[EFerrari]

25. It's cold and really windy here right now.

And looks like no one got hurt as the quakes are off shore. Thank goodness.

[im10ashus]

26. They canceled the warning.

Whew!

[EFerrari]

28. Really! At least I didn't have to pack up the cats! n/t

[lonestarnot]

30. WOW

[SaveElmer]

16. Just talked to my wife in San Fran

She didn't say anything about it

[Viva_La_Revolution]

17. Northwest News says...

low threat of tidal wave...
now not a warning, just a bulletin

[im10ashus]

18. Thanks for that update!

I can breathe a sigh of relief. :-)

[im10ashus]

21. Thanks!

The Weather Channel just said the warning remains in effect for 2 hours and to stay away from the beaches as a precaution.

[Roland99]

22. USGS reporting 7.0 off the coast of Crescent City, CA

http://earthquake.usgs.gov/recenteqs/

[im10ashus]

23. That's a big quake.

What was the one in the 80's? Wasn't it 7.4? The one that happened during the World Series?

[nadinbrzezinski]

27. the tsunami alert was cancelled
