The U.S. National Weather Service has issued a tsunami warning for coastal areas of California and Oregon after a 7.3 magnitude earthquake Thursday morning.
The quake happened just before 10:45 a.m., with an epicentre about 70 km southwest of Eureka, Calif. It was reportedly felt as far south as San Francisco, where residents felt a rolling motion for several seconds. It was followed by smaller aftershocks.
The warning stretches north to Florence, Ore., which is south of Portland.
It’s not clear whether there has been any damage yet.
Emergency Info BC says it is working to determine if there is any threat to B.C.
This is a developing story. More to come.
