Thread Name: BS: 7.0 Earthquake in Eureka California.
Subject: RE: BS: 7.0 Earthquake in Eureka California.
Hi, Jack - Thursday's quake was near the intersection of the San Andreas Faults off the coast of Northern California. All I heard were good reports at the time - shaking but no damage in San Francisco and Sacramento. It wasn't until the weekend that I heard that the effects were much stronger in the Mendocino-Fort Bragg area on the coast north of San Francisco. There was some damage in Mendocino County, but I haven't heard of anything serious. Forecasters are still saying that "the big one" is yet to come. There's a lot of pressure on those two faults, and something's gotta give. I'm glad I'm inland.
