Earthquakes

A strong earthquake killed at least 53 people in Tibet on Tuesday and left many others trapped as dozens of aftershocks shook the region of western China and across the border in Nepal.

People across Southeast Asia commemorated the lives of those lost two decades ago in the massive Indian Ocean tsunami that killed close to 230,000.

The USGS says a magnitude 7.3 earthquake has struck just off the coast of Vanuatu in the South Pacific Ocean.

People in Northern California shared footage of the 7.0 Magnitude earthquake that rattled the state Thursday.

The tsunami warning launched by NOAA following a magnitude 7.0 earthquake off the coast of California has been canceled.

Dave Snider, Tsunami Warning Coordinator at NOAA, said a destructive tsunami is not likely to occur following a magnitude 7.0 earthquake off the coast of California.

Several earthquakes struck Northern California Thursday, including a preliminary magnitude-7.0 offshore in the Pacific Ocean at 10:44 a.m. PT that triggered a tsunami warning along coastal areas from Santa Cruz into Oregon.
