Authorities say damage assessment is still ongoing

 According to a report from the California Governor's Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES), the damage assessment process is still ongoing after a 6.4 magnitude earthquake struck Humboldt County.


The California Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) is working with local and tribal governments to examine the effects of the earthquake and is providing resources, mutual help, and damage assessment in the process. Cal OES, Cal Fire, Cal Trans, Cal CGS, and CHP are among the state agencies that have responded in support of local operations, it said.

According to the US Geological Survey, the earthquake's epicenter occurred in the Pacific Ocean about 7.5 miles from Ferndale in Humboldt County. It is around a 20-mile drive from Eureka and a 280-mile drive from Sacramento to get there.


The Department of Homeland Security, Earthquake Country Alliance, and Red Cross have provided a list of safety precautions to take in the event of an earthquake.


Wait out the aftershocks: Smaller earthquakes almost typically follow the strongest tremors in a succession, so be alert in the hours that follow the initial quake.


Get outdoors and move far away if you're inside a damaged structure in order to avoid being struck by falling objects.


Close your mouth if you're stuck: You might breathe in fumes or debris, so it's advisable to send a text, thrash around, or blow a whistle so that rescuers can find you.


Keep an eye on the news: The government will likely provide emergency orders via radio, TV, and social media, so keep an eye on your gadgets for updates.


Phone calls shouldn't be made: In the past, phone volume after earthquakes has exceeded the capacity of cell carriers' networks, therefore some calls


were stopped to let others through. It's preferable to text or use instant messaging rather than calling unless it's an emergency.


Following the 6.4 magnitude earthquake that shook the area at 2:34 a.m. PT on Tuesday, the Humboldt County Sheriff's Office advised people to be ready for aftershocks.


"Humboldt County has reported severe damage to homes and roads as a result of a significant earthquake. Prepare yourself for aftershocks. Check for damage or leaks in the water and gas lines. When traveling, use caution, the sheriff's office tweeted.


A bridge that leads to Ferndale, which has a population of 1,387, was destroyed by the earthquake.


"State Route 211 in Humboldt County is CLOSED near Fernbridge. Due to potential earthquake damage, the bridge is closed while we undertake safety checks, according to a tweet from Caltrans District 1.


The US Geological Survey reports that the area is still being shaken by smaller quakes.

"I'm not sure how many more chances I'll get," Tsitsipas will have a difficult time overcoming Djokovic, who has just dropped one set this tournament and hasn't lost in Melbourne since 2018. Tsitsipas claims he "couldn't be more ready at this moment" despite the fact that Djokovic is competing in his 33rd major final and he is only playing in his second.

 The World Cup championship game seemed to defy logic, expectations, and all attempts at description. When Lionel Messi raised the World Cup trophy, the stadium erupted in a cacophony that nothing could possibly have captured. Or the composure with which Kylian Mbappé converted a penalty to tie the score late in regulation? It was the best ending ever, as the world eventually seemed to agree upon in an effort to summarize everything. Usain Bolt tweeted images of himself wearing an Argentina jersey at Lusail Stadium along with the caption "Best World Cup Final ever." "Up here, we're out of breath. Simply said, the outcome was astonishing. Being here was a pleasure. It was unlike anything I've ever seen, and I doubt I will ever see it again. Former England international Alan Shearer told the BBC that it was stunning. Messi's penalty and Angel Di Mara's goal in the first half appeared to have decided the match in regulation time, but Mbappé scored two goals
