7.0 Earthquake off Northern California

Here's the event page. 11:02 am Pacific Standard Time, 18:44 UTC.

There were 6.6 and 5.8 precursors in the 15 minutes before this big one.

It was less than 100 km offshore and tsunami warnings have been put up, but the quake(s) were over 2 hours ago so any tsunami would have perhaps hit already (?).

A little too close for comfort. I fear the coming M 9.0 earthquake in the Pacific Northwest will happen on a frigid January morning when I'm in the shower. I just hope I can find my eyeglasses and something to wear.
