Description

A magnitude 5.6 earthquake just struck California in-between Ukiah and Willits in an area historically devoid of large earthquakes, making this a historic rupture close to the major plate boundary of the San Andreas Fault. Notable earthquake activity has been happening all around the Golden State in recent months, to the east in Nevada around Silver Springs (M5.7 and swarm) and to the northwest off the coast of Oregon with a quake in the Juan de Fuca plate (M5.6). All of this occurs just after king tides slammed the state less than ten days before with the New Moon and as notable space weather that is well-known to trigger high-magnitude earthquakes begins.

Felt it here in Redwood Valley!! What a shaker. We’re smack dab in the middle between Willits and UKIAH. I was outside when it happened and saw the house moving and the windows shaking. The earth was rolling and I yelled out, “Help us Jesus!” The epicenter was just up the road from us. We have a lot of stuff on the floor after things fell over. Minimal breakage. Willits friends are reporting a lot of damage. Stores are closed due to breakage and windows broken. College library has tiles falling out and books off the shelf. It was a crazy ride!

Dutchsinse has been saying that EQ's move in waves across the planet for over 10 years. USBS revile him because he discovered this and not them. Please give Dutchsinse the credit.

Hey everyone, if you visited and remember the Phoenix Bread Company please drop a comment! We were located first in Hopland off the 101 and then up in Willits in the Safeway shopping center! My Dad and I would love to hear from you and we hope that everyone up north who was rattled by this historic earthquake is OKAY. New book out by my Dad Lee Burns on Amazon now, check it out! https://www.amazon.com/AMERICAS-FIRST-HOSPITALITY-CHAIN-Burns/dp/1997040123/

Last night in las vegas the sky to the west was clear and dark. To the southeast was lightning. The western sky started pulsing from bright to darker than dark back to regular dark. Each pulse was a millisecond but there were thousands, at first i figured it was freak sheet lightning from the storms somehow in a clear sky but now I think it may have been either earthquake lights or something else, some type of aurora variant or I dont know but in 70 years I've never seen anything like it.

Another huge reason why I love Stefan's channel is because of the great audience and followers... I always get cheered up when I read the comments. Everyone's comments about Stefan's hair (having survived the earthquake)are so good natured and hilarious!! 😁❤️

Willits residence here. I have seen no reports of personal injuries(edit: emergency web site has now reported some minor injuries, no deaths, an hour ago) but our town has some cleaning up to do and power is out for most of us.
