EUREKA, California — The National Weather Service has officially lifted the tsunami warning that had been put in place for the U.S. West Coast following a substantial earthquake that struck with a magnitude of 7.0.

The seismic event, which reportedly caused alarm among residents and prompted concerns about potential tidal waves, has been assessed, and officials concluded that there was no significant threat to the coastal areas from a tsunami.

Authorities acted quickly after the earthquake, providing timely updates and conducting evaluations to ensure public safety. Their assessment indicated that while the quake was strong, it did not generate the conditions necessary for a tsunami to occur.

Coastal communities can now breathe a sigh of relief as they return to normal activities, having been effectively informed throughout the incident. Emergency services were prepared to respond, but ultimately, the situation was resolved without major incident.

Residents are reminded to remain vigilant during seismic events and to stay informed through official channels for any future alerts or warnings.
