Daily Mail, by Alyssa Guzman: A magnitude 6 earthquake struck in the Ring of Fire, just 750 miles off the coast of California, but no tsunami warning will be issued.
A massive earthquake hit the Pacific Ocean shortly before 10pm on Tuesday, according to the US Geological Survey (USGS), just a week after San Francisco was hit with a 5.1 magnitude earthquake.
The quake took place deep into the ocean and only around 80 people felt it between Santa Rosa and San Francisco.
It is now the largest earthquake to hit the area since a 6.0-magnitude tremor hit Napa in 2014, which damaged buildings and injuring more than 100 people.
The earthquake struck with a depth of six miles and was roughly 737 miles from Big Sur and roughly 750 away from San Francisco.
The National Weather Service (NWS) in the Bay Area said it would not be issuing a tsunami warning, as the national disaster was ‘considered too small and too far away from the coast to issue a tsunami product’ as it was more than 1,000km away.
Hawaii also does not have a tsunami warning.
Sea level data collected by Deep-Ocean Assessment and Report of Tsunamis (DART) also indicated that the earthquake did not cause any ‘vertical uplift in the water column,’ NWS Bay Area reported.
The earthquake took place in the Ring of Fire, also known as the Circum-Pacific Belt, an area with a large number of active volcanoes and frequent earthquakes.
Last week, San Francisco was hit with a 5.1 magnitude. It was felt widely across the Bay Area, with residents as far north as Fairfield, as far east as Stockton and as far south as Salinas reporting tremors.
The quake was then followed by a 3.1-magnitude aftershock, but the National Weather Service has said it does not expect any tsunamis as a result.
But neither the San Jose nor Santa Cruz officials have reported any calls of injuries or damage as of yet.
Several Californians reported that the new Shake Alert system provided them with about five to 10 seconds to prepare for the quake before it struck on October 25.
As a result some buildings across the Bay Area were evacuated as residents feared the earthquake would cause massive damage.
According to the Earthquake Information Center, California experiences two or three earthquakes each year.
Prophetic Link:
“Satan had succeeded so well in deceiving the angels of God and in ruining noble Adam that he thought he should be successful in overcoming Christ in His humiliation. He looked with pleased exultation upon the result of his temptations, and the increase of sin in the continued transgression of God’s law for more than four thousand years. He had worked the ruin of our first parents, and brought sin and death into the world, and led to ruin multitudes of all ages, countries, and classes. By his power he had controlled cities and nations until their sin provoked the wrath of God to destroy them by fire, water, earthquakes, sword, famine, and pestilence. By his subtility and untiring efforts he had controlled the appetite and excited and strengthened the passions to so fearful a degree that he had defaced and almost obliterated the image of God in man. His physical and moral dignity were in so great a degree destroyed that he bore but a faint resemblance in character and noble perfection of form to the dignified Adam in Eden.” Confrontation, 34.2
