(FOX NEWS) – A magnitude 7.0 earthquake off the coast of Northern California has prompted a rare tsunami warning for coastal areas near the California-Oregon state line, including San Francisco Bay.

A powerful 7.0 earthquake was recorded around 10:44 a.m. PT about 60 miles offshore of Ferndale, California, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. The USGS originally reported a magnitude 5.8 quake struck Cobb, California 3 minutes after the 7.0 quake but have since updated their data to reduce that quake to a magnitude 2.5.

The major quake promoted a Tsunami Warning from Davenport to 10 miles south of Florence, Oregon. The warning will remain in place until further notice.

“If you are located in this coastal area, move inland to higher ground,” the National Weather Service warning read.
