Residents in California told to evacuate as 7.0 tsunami threat looms.

Earlier today, a strong earthquake measuring 7.0 on the Richter scale struck off the coast of northern California, approximately 60 miles from Ferndale. The US National Tsunami Centre quickly issued a tsunami warning for the state, urging residents to take immediate precautions.

According to reports, the quake was recorded at around 11am local time on Thursday. Its tremors were felt across the northern region and even as far south as San Francisco. Residents in the affected areas described feeling a rolling motion, followed by several aftershocks.

The situation became even more urgent when people in the Santa Cruz area received a tsunami warning on their phones from the National Weather Service. The message advised them to stay away from coastal waters and move to higher ground or inland. It also urged them to avoid returning to the coast until local officials gave the all-clear.

Thankfully, there have been no reports of damage so far. However, authorities are still closely monitoring the situation and cautioning residents to stay alert.
