I have family in Eureka. Reports include power outages across Humboldt County, broken gas lines, roads and bridges damaged, other damage still being assessed. The scene is a "chaotic mess."#HumboldtEarthquake https://t.co/rqOyoL204L

Grateful for the quick action of @Cal_OES to help support everyone in Humboldt County, and specifically our colleagues at @humboldtcoe, with helpful resources. We have connected with our county superintendent, Michael Davies-Hughes, and will provide assistance as needed. https://t.co/Dl116SkFnl

Earthquake that struck earlier this morning has caused "widespread damages to roads and homes are reported throughout" the area."

Why is a 6.4 #earthquake in #Humboldt County a big deal?

Located on the "#Mendocino Triple Junction", the fracture zone runs roughly 260km, dividing the Pacific and Juan de Fuca plates, and is where the #Cascadia SZ and #SanAndreas meet.

Stay safe out there, and be prepared. pic.twitter.com/8WBq91kfSo

The #earthquake chatter makes this a good time to remind everyone that the USA is in imminent danger from a Cascadia subduction zone earthquake that could completely destroy the Pacific Northwest.
