A tsunami warning for Northern California and Oregon coastal areas was canceled after a 7.0 magnitude earthquake occurred on Thursday morning.

Gov. Gavin Newsom received information about the earthquake in Humboldt County and was meeting with emergency officials, according to his office. The earthquake led to a tsunami warning from Davenport to 10 miles south of Florence, Oregon.

The Humboldt County Sheriff's Office initially advised residents to evacuate the area, but later rescinded the alert. Nevertheless, the agency cautioned people in the region to be ready for aftershocks.

The warning was canceled about 1.5 hours after the earthquake.

"The National Weather Service has canceled the tsunami warning for the coastal areas of California and Oregon. There is no tsunami danger presently in this area. This is the final message from the U.S. National Tsunami Warning Center regarding this event."

In Petrolia, an earthquake occurred at approximately 10:45 a.m., which is about 50 miles from Eureka.

The National Weather Service advised those in the coastal region to relocate to higher ground.

The San Francisco Zoo was forced to shut down due to the NWS's initial warning of strong waves that might affect coastal regions.

Social media reported that guests were evacuated, animals were secured, and staff relocated to higher ground.

People should avoid the water and beaches, harbors, marina docks, and piers and move at least one block inland, according to the city's emergency management agency.

""In response to the Tsunami Warning, we are activating our Emergency Operations Center and urging people to move off the coast and at least one block inland. Public safety personnel are deploying to the coast to warn people to move inland. We will continue to provide updates as we have them," San Francisco Mayor London Breed wrote on X."

No tsunami warning was issued for San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, Ventura, or Los Angeles counties, but these areas are still being assessed for potential tsunami effects, the state Office of Emergency Management stated.

Although the cancellation of the warning, officials advised people to avoid coastal regions due to increasing tides.
