Last night, a major earthquake with a magnitude of 6.4 struck Northern California, causing significant damage to buildings and infrastructure. The epicenter was located near Eureka, and tremors were felt as far away as San Francisco.
Emergency services were quick to respond, and evacuation orders were issued in several areas deemed to be at high risk of aftershocks. Local hospitals have reported dozens of injuries, but no fatalities have been confirmed so far.
Communities across the region have been coming together to provide support and aid to those affected. Temporary shelters have been set up to accommodate displaced residents.
Authorities are urging people to stay off the roads to facilitate the movement of emergency vehicles and to avoid areas close to damaged structures.
