Major Quake Strikes Off California Coast

[british_bmx2005]

CRESCENT CITY, Calif. - A major earthquake struck Tuesday night about 80 miles off the coast of northern California, prompting a tsunami warning along the Pacific coast.

The 7.0-magnitude quake struck at about 7:50 p.m. southwest of the coastal community of Crescent City, according to the U.S. Geological Survey Web site.

A tsunami warning was in effect from the California-Mexico border north to Vancouver Island, British Columbia.

Residents were being evacuated from low-lying areas of Crescent City, KCBS radio reported.

It's all over the news up here in WA. Better go find my surf board...

(I highly doubt there will be one though, let alone this high north)

RE: Major Quake Strikes Off California Coast

This is a worthless thread which is bound to have bad comments and nothing good come out of it.

Anyway, everyone who needs to know already knew about it. So I claim this topic old news.
