Earthquake

We were on our way to Arcata we received an emergency alert that there had been an earthquake in our area.  It was followed shortly by an emergency alert that there was a tsunami warning in our area.  with limited cell service we pulled off on the Avenue of Giants and set up Starlink.  

The red icon is the earthquake epicenter.  The blue dot is us.

Tsunami warning area

We determined that we could safely proceed.  Sure enough the tsunami warning was soon lifted and we stopped looking up the road for large waves.  

The biggest impact was that CVS sent all their employees home, then had to wait for corporate approval to reopen so we spent two hours in Arcata, just north of Eureka.
