   A couple of follow-ups re: today's California #quakes:
   1) There was actually only one significant quake as of 1pm PT--the M7.0 SW of Eureka. The far northern Sonoma County quake was actually ~M4.1 but initially registered higher due to conflicting data. [1/3]

     2) The Tsunami Warning that had been issued for NorCal Coast, including SF Bay Area, has been canceled. I suspect the warning was issued, somewhat precautionarily, because of shallow #earthquake depth & initial conflicting data indicating some vertical displacement (vs. pure strike-slip). [2/3]

     Dr. Eric J. Fielding, PhD repeated this.

     3) Very strong shaking reported in a modest swath east of epicenter; some modest damage likely south of Eureka.

     4) I just ended a ~70 minute livestream in which I discussed all of this in detail; check out the recorded version here:
