Humboldt County, California is hit by a 6.6 quake.

At least 2 folks in my office in SF (15th floor) felt it. It's been upgraded to 7.0 since.
We're all waiting for 12:10 local time to see if there's a tsunami. (These are usually, like, a few inches, but you never know!)

Didn't see anything interesting on the Caltrans Quickmap related to the earthquake.

I got a Tsunami Alert on my phone but I was far away from the quake but I am far inland like Fairfield. But the alert is directed at places like Pacifica, San Francisco, those areas.

MANILA, Philippines (AP) — A plume of hot ash and gases up to three kilometers (1.8 miles) high forced residents to seek shelter after a volcano in the Philippines erupted on Monday.

There were no immediate reports of casualties in the latest explosion of Mount Kanlaon, on central Negros island, but authorities shut schools and imposed a nighttime curfew after several villages were hit by ashfalls that clouded the the visibility of motorists and sparked health concerns.

"It sounded like a cannon," Mayor Jose Chubasco Cardenas of Canlaon city, which lies southeast of the volcano, told The Associated Press by telephone. "There have been quiet eruptions before, but this was one very loud."

Disaster-response officials raised the danger level around Kanlaon due to "a greater risk of hazardous volcanic activity" and ordered villagers within a six-kilometer (3.7-mile)
