No injuries were immediately reported following the earthquake, which occurred about 2:34 a.m. near Ferndale, a small community northwest of San Francisco.

“We live in earthquake country and this is another example that an earthquake can occur at any time without notice,” Ghilarducci said, noting the importance of having a plan in place. “We have seen on numerous occasions that the early warning system is a very valuable tool,” he said. Scientists have, for years, been warning that “the big one” – a catastrophic earthquake rivaling any that’s been experienced so far – is due in California. When the power and key infrastructure goes out, having a store of shelf-stable food and plenty of water is essential. Officials have cautioned the importance of being prepared for the event, and smaller ones like this quake. “Earthquakes are common in the region around the Mendocino triple junction,” the USGS posted on an informational page about the event, noting a 6.2 magnitude quake that occurred just 20km south-west exactly one year ago. With a surge in winter weather settling in across the area over the coming days, there are also concerns that displaced people will face increased exposure to the cold. Pridmore added that there have been more than 40 large earthquakes in the area over the last century. Two hospitals in the area also lost power and are running on generators. There were 80 strong aftershocks that also jolted the region following the quake, some as powerful as 4.6 magnitude, according to Cal OES, and more are expected. Just after 2.30am local time, phones across the region buzzed to life warning residents of the rattling to come. [Two fatalities have been linked](https://humboldtgov.org/2383/Current-Emergencies) to the quake “as a result of medical emergencies occurring during and/or just following” the incident, the Humboldt county sheriff’s office reported Tuesday afternoon.

Filyau had more pressing concerns: His 87-year-old mother, Beverly, is on oxygen, and he did not know how much longer their gas-powered generator would last. The extent of damage or injuries was not immediately known after the quake struck, at 2:34 a.m. local time, about 12 miles west of Ferndale.

Portable toilets were set up at City Hall and water was being handed out at the fire house. Three decades ago, homes in nearby Petrolia burned because the firehouse garage door jammed and trapped the engines inside.
