Strong Earthquake Of Magnitude 7 Strikes California, Tsunami Warning Canceled | N18G

On December 5, 2024, a magnitude 7 earthquake struck off the northern California coast, near Ferndale, at a depth of 10 km. The quake prompted a tsunami warning affecting 4.7 million people along the California and Oregon coasts, including major areas like San Francisco and San Jose. The warning, issued by the U.S. National Tsunami Center, was expected to impact the coast by 12:10 p.m. Pacific Time. Power outages affected nearly 19,000 clients in Humboldt County, and evacuations were ordered for low-lying areas. However, no injuries or deaths were reported. The warning was lifted about 90 minutes later, as no significant tsunami materialized. Governor Gavin Newsom coordinated emergency efforts and highlighted concerns over potential damage, particularly in northern California counties like Del Norte and Humboldt. While the threat was over, local authorities began assessing the damage, underscoring the ongoing risks of living in earthquake-prone areas.
