Tsunami Warnings Issued Following Major Earthquakes in Northern California and Oregon Coasts
A series of powerful earthquakes, including one with a magnitude of 7.0 off the coast of Humboldt County, California, have led to tsunami warnings for the West Coast, affecting regions in both Northern California and Oregon. The US Geological Survey has reported significant tremors, prompting emergency alerts that caution residents of the potential tsunami. Evacuation orders have been issued in areas such as West Berkeley and San Francisco, as authorities direct residents to move inland. The warnings extend along the Oregon coast, particularly south of Florence, while the Bay Area also experienced the tremors. Despite the seriousness of the situation, officials have noted that there is no tsunami threat to Hawaii at this time. Live updates continue as the situation develops.
