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)

Yeah I felt that one in greater Boston. Light shaking but a loud sustained rumble for about ten seconds.

I've still never felt an earthquake. Based on the time it happened, my dryer was running, so I didn't notice anything on top of it.

Update there is another 7.0 and above quake this time in Tonga.

A strong 7.1 magnitude earthquake hit near Tonga prompting an initial tsunami warning that was later lifted for the Pacific island country.
The U.S. Geological Survey said the quake hit about 100 kilometers (62 miles) northeast of the main island in the early morning hours of Monday local time. Hours later, a second 6.1 magnitude quake hit in the same area.
The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center in Hawaii issued an alert following the first quake saying hazardous waves could be possible but later said there was no longer a tsunami threat.
Tsunami sirens could be heard after the 1:18 a.m. quake urging residents to move inland, according to the Talanoa o Tonga news site. There were no initial reports of damage.
