The U.S. National Weather Service issued a tsunami warning for the coasts of Northern California and Oregon on Thursday after a massive earthquake of 7.0 hit just off the Pacific coast. A 7.3 earthquake registered not long after the first earthquake as an aftershock, according to CBS News.
The aftershock hit around 10:44 a.m. local time, 1:44 p.m. ET. about 45 miles southwest of Eureka, California, according to the website for the U.S. Tsunami Warning System. CBS News reports that the tsunami is expected to hit San Francisco at 12:10 p.m. local time.
“You see a lot of people hanging out by the coast right now, that’s probably what they should not be doing,” one reporter from CBS News said Thursday as overhead footage of the coast was played for viewers at home.
