The magnitude 7.0 earthquake – the most powerful to rattle the state in five years – struck near the California town of Petrolia on Dec. 5 and sparked a brief tsunami warning that stretched ...
The U.S. Geological Survey defines a 5-magnitude earthquake as “moderate,” which means it is strong enough to be felt by most people and could potentially cause some damage to already weak ...
Many whose loved ones are from Taiwan, which just suffered a 7.4-magnitude quake, and those from earthquake-prone areas of the U.S. said more preparedness would've help.
At least four events were recorded in the Ferndale area, with high activity also observed around the town of Petrolia, where at least 10 quakes ranging from 3.1 to 4.2 magnitude broke out.
It is one of the official regions in the Great ShakeOut Earthquake Drills movement. [1] The first drill, known as The Great Southern California ShakeOut, took place on November 13, 2008, [2] was the largest earthquake drill in U.S. history up until that time, and involved 5.3 million participants.

Earthquakes early Monday again struck Japan's north-central region of Ishikawa, still recovering from the destruction left by a powerful quake on Jan. 1, but the latest shaking caused no major damage.
The earthquake struck some 8 kilometres (5.0 mi) off the western coast of Efate. [7] The United States Geological Survey (USGS) placed the earthquake at M w 7.3 with a depth of 54.4 kilometres (33.8 mi). The focal mechanism indicated oblique-normal faulting.
Influenced by the monumental and permanent land art earthworks [5] of the early 1970s, the installation was a conceptual feedback loop between the seismic activity of California and the mechanical reflection of these frequent seismic events which controlled the earthquake shake table. Each time an earthquake occurred an array of 5/8 inch steel ...
