Did you feel the Eureka quake?

There was a 6.5 magnitude earthquake off the coast of northern California! some from Happy Camp, and even as far as Nevada, felt a bit of the tremor, but not all recognized it. There was broken glass and items moved around or shelves emptied but nothing as major as building crashing in Eureka or neighboring towns. Residents were asked to stay indoors and electricity was out in many homes. Repairs were going ahead.

There were expected to be further aftershocks. Despite the magnitude of the quake which was over ten miles deep at Eureka, the community felt mostly shook-up and no tsunami warnings were issued.
