Today, a powerful earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 7.0 struck nearly 300 miles up the coast near the town of Eureka in Northern California. The earthquake did not cause any damage in San Francisco, according to Capt. Justin Schorr of the city's fire department.
The US Geological Survey reported that the earthquake originated near Eureka, triggering concerns about potential tsunamis along the California and Oregon coastline. As a result, a tsunami warning has been issued for parts of the coastal areas.
