Good find. It is not always Mag 6, 7, 8 etc quakes that cause tsunamis. This was only a Mag 4.

Article in Daily Mail with a video from which the BBC article photo was taken. Much better detail than the BBC offering.

I was thinking there may have been a landslide involved but who knows.

Something perking, or does it have to do with the tropical depression?

Explanation for the thread I just posted that needed to be deleted.
In case anybody saw it and was concerned a significant quake had occurred in Santa Barbara. IT DID NOT!!

I sincerely apologize to our members

staffer at Caltech mistakenly sent out an alert for a large magnitude-6.8 earthquake off the Santa Barbara coast — from 1925.

The error happened when someone tried to correct the exact location of the Prohibition-era Santa Barbara earthquake, which happened 92 years ago.

The erroneous report went out at around 4:51 p.m. A closer look at the alert, however, would have shown that something was amiss. The time of the alert was dated June 29, 2025 at 7:42 a.m. But it corresponds with a real earthquake that occurred a century earlier.

Other rather significant activity:
4.9 Western Turkey

And I'd keep an eye on Hawaii, series of small quakes similar to turkey situation. But according to what i've heard these past days a lot is possible globally in the current time window. Extreme weather doesn't help

19 quakes in the last four hours.
All at negative depth or zero.
Spread out in a buck shot pattern when

This was the first one.

I'm In Sacramento, 80 miles away. I know there is still snow on the mountains. We had one of the largest snowpack on record this year.

Seismic Data
The quakes started around 2 a.m. and continued through the early morning; they were still rolling after 5:30 a.m. According to reports from the Nevada Seismological Laboratory, most of the shaking happened in an area roughly ringed by Independence Lake, Donner Lake and Stampede Dam.

Looking at the Ring of Fire it seems rather active but somewhat timid.

4.2 M in Anchor Point, AK and in Chile.
5.4 in Papua, New Guinea looks like the biggest one.

The one in Moreland, OK was larger at 3.3 M than the one in Hawaii at 3.0 M! Fracking?

Sharing more for anyone following Cascadia activity. The Seattle fault line area and surrounding continues to be active.

The most recent was a magnitude 3.0 magnitude quake near Marietta in Whatcom County.
Source About an hour and a half earlier, a magnitude a 2. 6 earthquake hit in Kitsap County.
