Aftershocks continued to rattle the North Coast Thursday night into Friday morning following the powerful7.0 earthquake that prompted a tsunami warning across a large stretch of California.
More than 120 aftershocks and quakes over magnitudes 2.5 have followed since the larger shaker struck Thursday morning, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. Dozens of smaller aftershocks have also been detected.The epicenter of Thursday's 7.0 magnitude shaker happened in what's known as California's 'earthquake country' because it's where three tectonic plates meet. The temblor was the most powerful to rattle the state since a 7.
'While there were no reports of major damage in Humboldt County, for people in the community of Ferndale, cleaning up from a significant earthquake in December has seemingly become a tradition in recent years. Thursday's magnitude 7.0 was the latest to strike the area around the holidays and the third in the last four years.
