    EUREKA, Calif. - A major earthquake struck Tuesday night about 80 miles off the coast of northern California.

    The 7.0-magnitude quake struck at about 7:50 p.m. southwest of the coastal community of Crescent City, according to the U.S. Geological Survey Web site.

    In Oregon, Tsunami warning sirens were set off in several coastal towns.

    A Tsunami warning was in effect from the California-Mexico border north to Vancouver Island, British Columbia.

    Residents were being evacuated from low-lying areas.

    Oh... duh.

    Just saw the news... says there is a warning, but not big chances of it actually happening.
