Just happened. No news other than a headline.

Prayers up for those in California.

Do we have a California ping?
G-d bless America. G-d bless us all                                 

Adopt a puppy or kitty from your local shelter
Or an older dog or cat. They're true love❤️

Fox News just updated their app as a 6.9 but it's just a red headline ticker. No news.

It's just a breaking story.

Drudge has it up too, now. No news just a red headline.

Very shallow depth of 10km.

Shouldn't be much damage at all...just a little shaking near the coast

@Machiavelli  @Freya

Mach handles the CA ping list...
Throwing our allegiances to political parties in the long run gave away our liberty.

That is good. I would hate it to be a precursor to the big one. A 6.8 or 6.9 is a biggie.

That's going to make for a pretty intense shake.

Yeah, but it was pretty far offshore, associated with the Mendocino Ridge.
