A powerful 7.0-magnitude earthquake struck off the coast of Northern California on Thursday morning, approximately 50 miles southwest of Eureka, prompting a tsunami warning for parts of the California and Oregon coastlines. The quake, recorded at a depth of about 10 kilometers, has led to evacuation advisories for residents in affected areas, urging them to move inland or to higher ground. Initially reported as a 6.6 magnitude, it was quickly upgraded by the US Geological Survey. Following the main tremor, a significant aftershock measuring 5.8 occurred near Cobb, California. Residents reported feeling strong shaking throughout the region, and local emergency officials continue to assess the situation. The tsunami warning is in effect from the Davenport coast to the Oregon-California border, affecting the San Francisco Bay area.
