Authorities said they were surveying for signs of damage. The closest city to the epicenter, Ferndale, has a population of about 1,300 people; the quake was also felt more than 200 miles to the south in the San Francisco Bay Area and in the Sacramento Valley to the east. The National Weather Service briefly issued a tsunami warning in coastal counties in Northern California and southern Oregon, telling residents to head inland or for high ground, but it canceled the alert about an hour after the quake occurred.

The 7.0-magnitude quake was recorded at a depth of just 10 kilometers (six miles), almost 100 kilometers west-southwest of Ferndale, according to the United States Geological Survey. At least 5.3 million people in California were under a tsunami warning after the magnitude 7.0 earthquake, the U.S. Geological Survey said in a yellow alert, which predicts localized but minimal damage. More than 1.3 million people lived close enough to the quake that they could have felt it, the USGS estimated. «Based on preliminary earthquake parameters… hazardous tsunami are possible for coasts located within 300 KM of the earthquake epicenter,» said a warning issued by the National Weather Service's Tsunami Warning Center in Honolulu.

Mariam a.k.a. Mary, the mother of Jesus, unexpectedly burst on to my Instagram feed this fortnight. The occasion was the release of the trailer for the epic Biblical film, Mary. The trailer has provoked anger over the casting of Israeli actors to play Mary and other central roles, while 'erasing the characters' Palestinian roots', as the London-based Middle East Eye put it. The sentiment was further explained by a social media user quoted on the website as saying: 'There is something profoundly offensive about having an Israeli actor play Mary, the mother of Jesus, while Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians, killing some of the oldest Christian communities in the world and erasing their heritage sites.' Earlier, Mary director DJ Caruso told Entertainment Weekly, 'It was important to us that Mary, along with most of our primary cast, be selected from Israel to ensure authenticity.' Caruso's comment is designed to confuse cinephiles who have not studied West Asia, and therefore, understandably, do not know the difference between the ancient Israel mentioned in the Bible versus the modern-day country known as the State of Israel, or the historic region of Palestine versus the present-day State of Palestine.
