"For a tense 40 minutes Thursday, much of West Berkeley was under an evacuation order... Businesses in the Fourth Street commercial district shuttered, and the busy on-ramp to Interstate 80 was shut down."
"Geologists and the National Weather Service issue tsunami warnings anytime there is an earthquake that reaches 7.0 or higher... tsunamis travel at roughly the speed of a passenger jet and can push house-high walls of water into coastal areas."
"The tsunami warning, which stretched from Santa Cruz to southern Oregon, followed a magnitude 7.0 earthquake off the coast of Humboldt County shortly before 11 a.m., but the tsunami warning was later called off and evacuation order lifted."
