Viral videos show California’s 7.0 earthquake chaos

A 7.0 magnitude earthquake struck off the Northern California coast, triggering tsunami warnings but causing minimal damage. The quake, centered near the Mendocino Triple Junction, shook homes and stores, sending items tumbling from shelves. Widespread power outages occurred in Humboldt County, but schools resumed classes after evacuations. While the tremor was powerful, its remote location and horizontal fault movement mitigated the impact.
