Officials are currently assessing the potential risk of tsunami impacts on large counties in central and Southern California following a powerful earthquake in the far northern part of the state. The National Weather Service is closely monitoring the situation.
The NWS office in Los Angeles has stated that San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, Ventura, and Los Angeles Counties are under evaluation for possible tsunami impacts. This update comes after an earlier message from the office had indicated that there was no immediate tsunami threat to these areas.
