The reports this morning haven't specified where the epicent was.
How far offshore was it, and has any damage been reported?
I hope that all of our California friends, are okay... :shocked:

There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

It was a huge 6.9 located 50 miles offshore almost directly West of sparsely populated town of Eureka in Northern California. No tsunami expected.
Eureka is about 275 miles North of San Francisco. The California coast is 853 miles long.

Looks like it was far enough off shore and deep enough that it was a relative non event. I am in the Sacramento Area Northern Califronia and we didn't feel a thing, and there was nonTsunami alert either. It was 75 degrees this weekend and we took a 250 cruise through the Napa Valley, through the Coastal Redwoods and to the Ocean. Awesome

I'm glad to hear that it became a non-event...

most earthquakes are non-events. Only a very few are "big". And even those have highly localized damage. For example nearly all the damage in the Northridge quake occurred within 3 sq miles. In the Lander's quake, a stop sign fell down. We have really good building codes. The absolutely safest place in an earthquake is inside a California home. That is the reason our houses are built out of wood and stucco, bolted to the foundation...etc.I'm glad to hear that it became a non-event...

For those of us who don't have much experience with "Terra Ferma" doing a jig (One 4.2, another 4.1); we have to rely on what the Lamestream Media decides to feed us for news... :gaah: Glad to hear that you guys have got it pretty much sorted out...
But still: "The more-"Ferma"; the less-"Terra"!

The ones that go off and do not do any damage are good. They release fault pressure that is building up.

It appears that the temblor broke along the Cascadia subduction zone, which USGS defines as "a megathrust that forms the collisional plate boundary between the subducting Explorer, Juan de Fuca, and Gorda Plates and the overriding North America Plate, and it extends 1,200 km from offshore northern California to southern British Columbia."
