Earthquake in california

A magnitude 6.5 earthquake, which struck at 4:27 p.m. about 33 miles southwest of the coastal city of 26,000, rocked the Northern California city of Eureka on Saturday, shattering windows and prompting the evacuation of at least one apartment building.

There were no reports of major injuries or life loss but created great impact on people over there fearing a tsunami since in 1964, a magnitude 9.2 earthquake off the Alaskan coast sent a catastrophic tsunami to Crescent City, north of Eureka, killing 11 people.
