Powerful 6.9 quake strikes off California coast

A powerful 6.9-magnitude earthquake struck late Sunday off the coast of northern California, the US Geological Survey said, but there were no immediate reports of damage or a tsunami threat.
The quake struck at 0518 GMT with an epicenter located 77 kilometers (48 miles) west-northwest of the town of Ferndale and at a depth of seven kilometers (4.3 miles), said the USGS, which monitors earthquakes worldwide.
There were no immediate reports of casualties or damage, but early reports indicate the quake was felt as far away as San Francisco, around 400 kilometers south of Ferndale.
Authorities in Humboldt County, the part of sparsely-populated northern California some 250 miles up the coast from San Francisco, said they had no calls about damage of injuries, local media reported.
The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center issued a bulletin announcing the quake, but downplayed any danger.
'A widespread destructive tsunami threat does not exist based on historical earthquake and tsunami data,' the Center said.
The USGS said there is a 90 percent probability of a 'strong and possibly damaging aftershock' of magnitude 5 or more in the next seven days, and a 5-10 percent chance of a quake equal to or great than Sunday's temblor.
Up to 300 small aftershocks can be expected over the next week, it added. A series of mostly 3-3.5 magnitude shocks, and one of 4.6.

    Japan earthquake Japan's new tsunami terror: Massive 7.3 earthquake strikes off coast

    A powerful earthquake rocked Japan today, sparking a tsunami warning in the same region that was devastated by huge waves last year.

    The quake, in the north eastern Miyagi region, was 7.3 in magnitude and tremors were felt nearly 200 miles away in Tokyo, where buildings shook violently for several minutes, the Japanese Meteorological Agency said.

    Power supplies were hit, trains were halted and an airport runway shut.

    A 3ft tsunami struck the town of Ishinomaki, but there were no casualties.

    Resident Chikako Iwai said: “I was in the centre of the city.

    'I immediately jumped into the car and started escaping towards the mountains. I’m still hiding inside the car.'
    When a tsunami hit the region in March 2011, nearly 19,000 people were killed or listed missing.

    It was 9.0 in magnitude and it battered the Fukushima plant in the world’s worst nuclear crisis since Chernobyl.

    As the latest quake struck, the NHK TV network urged: “Remember last year. Call on your neighbours and flee to higher ground now. Do not go back.”

    A tsunami warning from Honshu to Tokyo was cancelled, with only two people hurt.

    There were three aftershocks of 6.2, 5.5 and 4.7 magnitude.

    English teacher John Heritage told the BBC: 'We're at an evacuation centre waiting to hear what to do next.'

    6 9 Magnitude Earthquake Hits Off Northern California Coast Video

    A powerful magnitude-6.9 earthquake struck in the Pacific Ocean off the California coast early Monday, the United States Geological Survey reported.

    The quake hit about 50 miles west of Eureka and occurred at 10:18 a.m. PDT, 4.3 miles beneath the seabed, according to the USGS.

    It was followed by about a half-dozen aftershocks, including one of magnitude-4.6.

    There is not believed to be any threat of a tsunami, according to the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center.

    The Humboldt County Sheriff's Department, which oversees most of the populated areas near the quake, says there have been no calls about damage or injuries

    'This lasted longer than any earthquake I've ever felt,' Raquel Maytorena, 52, who lives about a mile from the coast in Ferndale near Eureka, told The Los Angeles Times. 'It just kept going and going, very slowly and softly. It was not violent. It almost felt like you were in a boat that was rocking.'

    Jana Pursley, a geophysicist with the National Earthquake Information Center, said that based on the area's tectonics and past temblors, damages or casualties were unlikely.

    Earthquake hits off Indonesia coast at 8.7 Magnitude Earthquake On April 11, 2012

    Jakarta, Indonesia -- A massive earthquake struck off the coast of the Indonesian island of Sumatra on Wednesday afternoon, triggering a tsunami alert for the Indian Ocean.

    The quake struck about 434 kilometers (270 miles) southwest of Banda Aceh, the capital of Indonesia's Aceh province, and had a magnitude of 8.6, the U.S. Geological Survey said. It took place at a depth of 23 kilometers (14 miles).

    The tremor revived fearful memories of the catastrophic earthquake and tsunami in the region in 2004 that killed tens of thousands of people.

    The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said Wednesday that it had issued a tsunami watch for the entire Indian Ocean, and the Indonesian Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency said it had put up a tsunami warning.

    The Indonesian president, Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, said on local television that there were no reports of casualties or damage in Aceh so far.

    The areas most at risk of a tsunami are coastal areas of Aceh, particularly the island of Simeulue, Prih Harjadi, an official for the Indonesian geophysics agency said on Metro TV.

    The earthquake appears to have involved a horizontal movement rather than a vertical movement, so it is less likely that it will generate a tsunami, said Gary Gibson from the Seismology Research Center in Melbourne, A

    Earthquake strikes in Southern California

    Three earthquakes have shaken Southern California, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.

    The USGS's monitoring system places the epicenter of the earthquakes in the desert near Anza, about 100 miles southeast of Los Angeles.

    One quake struck at 9:55 a.m. Monday and was initially estimated at magnitude 5.1 but that was quickly downgraded to 4.7. The other two were magnitude 4.6 and 3.0, according to the USGS.

    The earthquakes were felt sharply in the local area and also rolled through downtown Los Angeles, San Diego and in Orange County. There are no immediate reports of damage in the region.

    Susie Bride, a cashier at Cahuilla Mountain Market and Cafe in Anza, said the quake seemed to last awhile but didn't do any damage to the business.

    'It kind of shook and then I thought, `God, is that an earthquake?' It kind of shook and then it rolled a little bit and then it shook again,' she said.

    About 25 miles north of Anza, Palms Springs police Sgt. Harvey Reed said his department received no reports of damage or injuries. There were no other immediate reports of damage in the region.

    Earthquakes of such magnitude are unlikely to do much harm in regions with modern building standards.

    'It's extremely unlikely that there's damage from this earthquake,' said Lucy Jones, a seismologist with the U.S. Geological Survey in Pa

    5.7-magnitude earthquake strikes Northern California

    An earthquake in far northeastern California was felt by thousands of people as far away as San Francisco and in two other states, but there have been no reports of injury or serious damage.
    The magnitude-5.7 quake broke dishes and shook mirrors when it struck at 8:47 p.m. Thursday, officials said.
    It was centered near Greenville, about 25 miles southwest of Susanville in far northeastern California, said Rafael Abreu, a geophysicist with the U.S. Geological Survey's National Earthquake Center in Golden, Colo.
    There have been several aftershocks, including a magnitude 4.9 that struck early Friday morning.
    Slight damage has been reported including objects falling from shelves and dishes rattled or broken, according to a report from the National Weather Service.
    Susan Shephard and her husband Alan Shephard, who run the Quail Lodge at Lake Almanor near Greenville very close to the epicenter, said they were watching 'The Hunger Games' on TV when the whole building started shaking.
    'All of a sudden things started falling off the shelves, mirrors fell off the wall, vases fell down to the floor, everything started crashing,' Shephard told the Redding Record-Searchlight. 'It felt like the end of our world.'
    The Susanville Fire Department said it had received no reports of damage, and a Plumas County Sheriff's Office dispatcher said calls were flooding into its office but no reports of damage.
